When your agent uses it
- Locating the live scholarly controversy
- Tying it to Chinas development / 时代之问
Example prompts
- “/ssc-topic-problematic”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- 理论争论：领域内存在对立判断或未解之问，本文介入其中
- 现实分量：连着国家发展、制度变迁、文明/治理这一层级的真问题
- 时代之问：能回应"中国之问、世界之问、人民之问、时代之问"中的某一面
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9a4b2db. 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
Ssc Topic Problematic loads about 316 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 81 tokens; SKILL.md has 51 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
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 51 words (~316 tokens).
