What it does

Ahk Ask is an agent skill from enmanuelmag/agent-harness-kit. Ask a question about this codebase — where is X, does Y exist, how does Z work. Read-only. No tasks created, no harness tracking.

Its SKILL.md is about 420 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: A provider-agnostic scaffolding kit for running structured multi-agent workflows in your codebase. The licence is Apache-2.0.

Example prompts

  • “/ahk-ask”

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Invoke Explorer as a subagent with this exact instruction
  2. Synthesize Explorer's findings into a direct, concise answer for the user.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 269b547. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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

Ahk Ask loads about 415 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 34 tokens; SKILL.md has 215 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~34
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~415

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.

description
Ask a question about this codebase — where is X, does Y exist, how does Z work. Read-only. No tasks created, no harness tracking.

Provider Delegation Guidance

  • Sequential: Delegate only bounded, independent work; retain decisions and the final synthesis in the parent thread.
  • Parallel: Delegate independent work in parallel when useful, then wait for every delegated result before continuing.
  • Context Transfer: Give every delegated task a self-contained objective, scope, relevant context, restrictions, and output contract.
  • Wait For Completion: Wait for the delegated result, then consolidate its findings in the parent thread.
  • Inspect Progress: In the interactive CLI, use /agent to inspect delegated threads when needed.

You are in lightweight ask mode.

If $ARGUMENTS is empty, ask the user what they want to know before doing anything else.

The user's question: $ARGUMENTS

Rules

  • NO MCP calls — no tasks., no actions.
  • NO health.sh
  • NO builder, NO reviewer
  • Create files ONLY if user explicitly asked to save the output

Process

  1. Invoke Explorer as a subagent with this exact instruction:

    "Read-only codebase question — no MCP harness, no task creation. Map only what is needed to answer: $ARGUMENTS. Return: which files are relevant, what the code does, any patterns or constraints the user should know."

  2. Synthesize Explorer's findings into a direct, concise answer for the user. Do not relay the raw output — distill it.

Output

  • Concise answer to the user's question
  • Relevant file paths and code references
  • Important caveats or related constraints
