At a glance

The evlog content doctrine, for anyone drafting or judging evlog prose: a docs page, the landing, a blog post, a package README, a skill, an AGENTS.md, a changeset.

  • Tasks that involve Blog and article writing
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Tasks that involve Technical documentation
  • Tasks that involve Agent instruction files

What it does

Write Evlog Content is an agent skill from evloghq/evlog. The evlog content doctrine, for anyone drafting or judging evlog prose: a docs page, the landing, a blog post, a package README, a skill, an AGENTS.md, a changeset. This skill is a pointer, not a copy: it says where the doctrine lives and what range it covers. Load it before writing or reviewing content; read the doctrine file itself in the repository checkout.

Its SKILL.md is about 390 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 Writing & Content, covering Blog and article writing, Technical documentation and Agent instruction files. The repository describes itself as: Digging through logs is not observability. It's hope — wide events, structured errors, TypeScript-first, every runtime. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Blog and article writing
  • Tasks that involve Technical documentation
  • Tasks that involve Agent instruction files

Example prompts

  • “/write-evlog-content”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 59a105f. 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

Write Evlog Content loads about 386 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 96 tokens; SKILL.md has 165 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~96
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~386

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
The evlog content doctrine, for anyone drafting or judging evlog prose: a docs page, the landing, a blog post, a package README, a skill, an AGENTS.md, a changeset. This skill is a pointer, not a copy: it says where the doctrine lives and what range it covers. Load it before writing or reviewing content; read the doctrine file itself in the repository checkout.

Writing evlog content (pointer)

This skill defines the range of the content doctrine and points at it. It does not restate it, because two copies of the rules drift apart, and a skill that drifts is worse than a missing one.

The doctrine lives in the repository checkout, at .agents/skills/write-evlog-content/. Read SKILL.md and its sibling files there with the file tools:

/workspace/repo/.agents/skills/write-evlog-content/

Everything this skill carries: the evlog voice, the atomic rules, the terminology, the competitor dossiers, and the AI-tell corpus with the legitimate twin for each tell.

Range

The doctrine governs every written surface of evlog: the docs tree, the landing, the package READMEs, the published and internal skills, the AGENTS.md files, the blog, and changesets. Two roles use it, and they must not be merged:

  • Review produces findings and a verdict, and never rewrites.
  • Write drafts and edits prose against the same rules.

When a rule in the checkout reads as wrong, fix it in .agents/skills/write-evlog-content/ by pull request, not by paraphrasing it here.
