At a glance

Never write fluff comments. An agent skill from flornkm/personal-site.

  • Works in 4 steps: Does this explain a non-obvious WHY? If… → Would a competent reader of this… → Is it referencing the current task,… → …

  • SKILL.md covers Allowed, Forbidden — delete on sight, When editing existing code and Review checklist
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

No Fluff Comments is an agent skill from flornkm/personal-site. Never write fluff comments. Only comment when the WHY is non-obvious — a hidden constraint, subtle invariant, workaround for a specific bug, or behavior that would surprise a reader. Use whenever writing or editing source files.

Its SKILL.md is about 670 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 Development. The repository describes itself as: Florians personal site.

When your agent uses it

  • Editing source files

Example prompts

  • “/no-fluff-comments”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Does this explain a non-obvious WHY? If no → delete.
  2. Would a competent reader of this language already know this? If yes → delete.
  3. Is it referencing the current task, ticket, or author? If yes → delete (move to PR description).
  4. Is it longer than one line? If yes → shorten or delete.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit acc40c8. 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

No Fluff Comments loads about 668 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 361 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~62
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~668

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 361 words (~668 tokens).

“Default: write no comments. Well-named identifiers and small functions are the documentation. A comment earns its place only when removing it would genuinely confuse a future reader.”
