About this skill

“Measure whether the chat jumps while a turn runs by sampling the Working line's position over CDP and counting upward moves. Use when changing step rows, live status lines, folding, or anything that can shrink content during a run.”

— description from SKILL.md by different-ai

Chat Flicker Measurement is a skill in different-ai/openwork (24k stars). Its SKILL.md is about 355 tokens, with 1 other file in the folder (scripts). Licence: Custom licence.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4ccc9e9. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (JavaScript), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • node

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Chat Flicker Measurement loads about 355 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 122 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~63
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~355

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); the scripts in this folder 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 122 words (~355 tokens).

“Content growing below is normal. Content shrinking during a run (a live line removed, a group closing) moves everything up, and that reads as flicker. This counts those upward moves.”
