Tool permissions

Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Peated Writing loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 572 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~75
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Peated Writing

Write for a whisky database that takes its records seriously and the hobby lightly.

Serious about the record. Light about the drinking.

Set The Register

Identify the surface before writing. Reduce humour as the reader's frustration rises.

Surface	Register
Empty states, first run, passports, tier names	Dry wit is allowed
Labels, headings, and tables	Plain and specific; wit only when clarity is unchanged
Forms in progress	Plain and helpful
Errors, data loss, sign-in, and payment	Short, apologetic when appropriate, actionable, no jokes

Never joke about a person's data, taste, or spending. Joke about the hobby in general or about Peated.

Apply The Rules

Put the joke in the noun, not the delivery. Use understatement. Do not use exclamation marks, emoji, winks, or a phrase that explains the joke.
Prefer specific, verified facts. Numbers are useful and often carry the humour. Do not invent a number to improve a line.
Remove trade, internal, and product-marketing jargon. Use the words a drinker knows.
Do not flatter the whisky or the reader. Describe what is known and let the reader decide.
State only what Peated can verify. If a record is incomplete, invite the correction instead of apologising for the database.

Choose Plain Words

Avoid these terms in customer-facing copy:

Trade jargon: expression, liquid, organoleptic, the water of life.
Internal terms: aggregate, entity, canonical, verdict, grain, band.
Product marketing: curated, discover, journey, unlock, seamless, experience, community-driven.

Use the visible meaning instead. Write Very good · 85–89, Ratings, Rated, or How people rated instead of exposing an internal measure name.

Dram is allowed at most once per screen. Do not use it in a heading or as a cute plural.

Use NAS for a Bottle confirmed to have no age statement. Age labels and surrounding context normally explain the term; learning-oriented surfaces can spell it out once.

Show full SKILL.md (263 more words)Show less

Use Peated Mechanics

Use second person, contractions, active voice, and short sentences.
Use numerals for counts, scores, ages, and stats: 6 bottles, not six bottles.
Use sentence case. Mono capitals are a visual device, not a writing style.
Keep punctuation consistent within a block. Labels can be fragments.
Do not name feelings Peated cannot know.
For a failure, say what failed, what survived, and what the reader can do.

Rewrite Toward Facts

Avoid	Write
Discover your next favourite dram	184,204 bottles. Someone has probably logged yours.

Avoid both extremes:

Too reverent: A dram of remarkable provenance, matured for forty-six years.
Too laddish: 46 years old and absolutely sending it. Get involved.
Peated: Forty-six years in and the smoke has turned to embers — extraordinary, and priced accordingly.

Deliver The Copy

When drafting, return final copy first. Mark facts that still need verification. When reviewing, preserve the intended meaning and interface constraints. Give a replacement for each issue. Explain only decisions that need human judgment.

Before finishing, check that the copy is clear without the joke, contains no unverified claim, uses the right frustration register, and sounds neither like a press release nor a drinking club.
