What it does

Engage Check is an agent skill from ericboy0224/learn-docker-and-k8s. Monitor player engagement and adapt the learning experience. Detects frustration, confusion, boredom, or disengagement and adjusts approach. Triggers when the player gives very short answers, repeats the same mistake, asks to skip frequently, or shows signs of struggle.

Its SKILL.md is about 730 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 DevOps & Cloud. The repository describes itself as: Interactive AI-driven game to learn Docker, Linux, networking & Kubernetes. Open in Claude Code or Cursor, type 'let's play'.

When your agent uses it

  • The player gives very short answers
  • Repeats the same mistake
  • Asks to skip frequently
  • Shows signs of struggle

Example prompts

  • “/engage-check”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Never mention that you're monitoring engagement — it should feel natural
  2. Adjust gradually — don't suddenly change your entire tone
  3. Remember preferences — if a player prefers less story, keep it that way for the session
  4. Celebrate comebacks — if they push through frustration and succeed, acknowledge it: "You stuck with it and figured it out — that's exactly…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit da325b6. 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

Engage Check loads about 726 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 71 tokens; SKILL.md has 366 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~71
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~726

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 366 words (~726 tokens).

“You are monitoring the player's engagement level. This skill is triggered automatically — the player doesn't see it.”
