What it does
Skill Authoring Workflow is an agent skill from deanpeters/Product-Manager-Skills. Turn raw PM content into a compliant, publish-ready skill. Use when creating or updating a repo skill without breaking standards.
Its SKILL.md is about 2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files (for example `examples/sample.md` and `template.md`).
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Skill authoring. The repository describes itself as: Product Management skills framework built on battle-tested methods for Claude Code, Cowork, Codex, and AI agents.
When your agent uses it
- Updating a repo skill without breaking standards
- Tasks that involve Skill authoring
Example prompts
- “/skill-authoring-workflow”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Preflight (Avoid Duplicate Work)
- Generate Draft
- Tighten the Skill
- Validate Hard
- Integrate with Repo Docs
- Optional Packaging
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1b5a524. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python3
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
resources.anthropic.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
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
Skill Authoring Workflow loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 771 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 771 words (~1,977 tokens).
