About this skill
Cime Documentation Writer is a skill in ESMCI/cime (174 stars). Its SKILL.md is about 459 tokens. Licence: Custom licence.
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Identify the topic being documented.
- Locate where to place file under doc/source.
- Add documentation and examples.
- Find areas that should link to new documentation.
- Ask user to review.
- Apply feedback and loop until user is satisfied with documentation.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 11e5d67. 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:
make
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
Cime Documentation Writer loads about 459 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 15 tokens; SKILL.md has 218 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 218 words (~459 tokens).
