What it does
Smalldocs Author is an agent skill from espressoplease/smalldocs. Create finished SmallDocs Markdown for an application using the SmallDocs renderer. Use when an agent must produce a readable report or rich document containing diagrams, charts, computed cells, slides, runnable HTML, walkthroughs, math, code, video, navigation, or document styling. Do not use for integrating the renderer SDK itself.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 15 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/apps.md` and `references/cells.md`).
It sits in Documents & Office, covering Slides and decks, Diagrams and Markdown. The repository describes itself as: Read, style, and share markdown files - privately. Formerly SDocs.

- Rich document containing diagrams
- Document styling

Example prompts
- “/smalldocs-author”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ba5934a. 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
Smalldocs Author loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~7.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 88 tokens; SKILL.md has 514 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 514 words (~1,078 tokens).
“Produce one completed Markdown string for the host application to pass to the SmallDocs renderer. Use ordinary Markdown for the document structure and add rich blocks where they make the result easier to understand. Do not emit an SDK capability…”
