What it does
Publication Pass is an agent skill from EpicenterHQ/epicenter. Decide whether an authored piece is ready to represent its writer in public by testing recognition, legibility, integrity, and worth. Use before publishing a post, video, essay, or controversial idea; not for platform formatting or audience approval.
Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: Open-source, local-first apps.
Example prompts
- “/publication-pass”
Workflow steps
7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- State the judgment first.
- Give the public claim in one sentence.
- Say whether it is recognizably the writer's view.
- Give the strongest charitable reading and strongest reasonable objection.
- Name any serious misreading and whether the writing causes it.
- Identify the smallest needed qualification or revision, if any.
- Say what should remain sharp or untouched because softening it would betray
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5b4bb69. 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
Publication Pass loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 596 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 596 words (~1,039 tokens).
“Decide whether a piece is ready to share publicly. It should sound like the writer, communicate what they actually mean, hold up under fair scrutiny, and be worth the attention and exposure it may bring.”
