What it does
Decision Records Maintainer Skill is an agent skill from decision-records/decision-records. Maintain the decision-records repository itself — add or edit worked examples, keep the examples index and cross-references consistent, follow the repo's index.md/README.md symlink and header conventions, and audit for known content gaps. Use when changing this repo's own docs or structure (not when using the repo's templates to write someone else's decision record — see decision-records-skill for that).
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Development, covering Technical documentation. The repository describes itself as: Decision record: how to initiate and complete decisions for teams, organizations, and systems.
When your agent uses it
- Changing this repos own docs
- Structure (not when using the repos templates to write someone elses decision record — see decision-records-skill for that)
Example prompts
- “s own docs or structure (not when using the repo”
- “/decision-records-maintainer-skill”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Create examples//index.md following the shape every existing
- Symlink examples//README.md -> index.md.
- Add a row to the table in examples/index.md: link text, domain, Lightweight
- If the example introduces uncommon proper nouns or terms, add them to
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit bcd787d. 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:
git
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
joelparkerhenderson.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
Decision Records Maintainer Skill loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 110 tokens; SKILL.md has 536 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
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 536 words (~1,267 tokens).
“For work on the decision-records repo itself: its structure, cross-links, and conventions. If the task is instead "help me write a decision record," use decision-records-skill — it applies this repo's templates to a real decision rather than maintaining the repo.”
