What it does
Directing Your AI Assistant is an agent skill from flyrank-bih/flyrank-ml-internship-starter. Teaches the working method for using an AI coding assistant on analysis tasks — one task per fresh conversation, search before assuming, interview before big plans, validate everything, commit per finished task. Use at the start of any assignment, whenever a conversation gets long and confused, or when the assistant starts guessing.
Its SKILL.md is about 790 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: Starter repo for the FlyRank ML Internship - a runnable ML pipeline on real anonymized Google Search data, with Colab notebooks. Fork it, build your capstone in it.
Example prompts

- “/directing-your-ai-assistant”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 882b73e. 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
Directing Your AI Assistant loads about 790 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 91 tokens; SKILL.md has 444 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 444 words (~790 tokens).
“You are the engineer. The assistant is a fast, tireless drafter. This skill is how you stay in charge — because an assistant with a confused human produces confused work, fast.”
