Team-wide charter and history optimization through skill extraction

  • SKILL.md covers Context, Process, Patterns and Anti-Patterns
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Reskill is an agent skill from FritzAndFriends/SharpSite. Team-wide charter and history optimization through skill extraction

Its SKILL.md is about 880 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: A basic CMS built with .NET 9 and Blazor. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/reskill”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Audit
  2. Extract
  3. Trim
  4. Report

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c35e5e0. 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

Reskill loads about 877 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 19 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
~19
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~877

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.

manual — Brady directive to reduce per-agent context overhead

Context

When the coordinator hears "team, reskill" (or similar: "optimize context", "slim down charters"), trigger a team-wide optimization pass. The goal: reduce per-agent context consumption by extracting shared patterns from charters and histories into reusable skills.

This is a periodic maintenance activity. Run whenever charter/history bloat is suspected.

Process

Step 1: Audit

Read all agent charters and histories. Measure byte sizes. Identify:

  • Boilerplate — sections repeated across ≥3 charters with <10% variation (collaboration, model, boundaries template)
  • Shared knowledge — domain knowledge duplicated in 2+ charters (incident postmortems, technical patterns)
  • Mature learnings — history entries appearing 3+ times across agents that should be promoted to skills
Step 2: Extract

For each identified pattern:

  1. Create or update a skill at .squad/skills/{skill-name}/SKILL.md
  2. Follow the skill template format (frontmatter + Context + Patterns + Examples + Anti-Patterns)
  3. Set confidence: low (first observation), medium (2+ agents), high (team-wide)
Step 3: Trim

Charters — target ≤1.5KB per agent:

  • Remove Collaboration section entirely (spawn prompt + agent-collaboration skill covers it)
  • Remove Voice section (tagline blockquote at top of charter already captures it)
  • Trim Model section to single line: Preferred: {model}
  • Remove "When I'm unsure" boilerplate from Boundaries
  • Remove domain knowledge now covered by a skill — add skill reference comment if helpful
  • Keep: Identity, What I Own, unique How I Work patterns, Boundaries (domain list only)

Histories — target ≤8KB per agent:

  • Apply history-hygiene skill to any history >12KB
  • Promote recurring patterns (3+ occurrences across agents) to skills
  • Summarize old entries into ## Core Context section
  • Remove session-specific metadata (dates, branch names, requester names)
Show full SKILL.md (113 more words)Show less
Step 4: Report

Output a savings table:

AgentCharter BeforeCharter AfterHistory BeforeHistory AfterSaved

Include totals and percentage reduction.

Patterns

Minimal Charter Template (target format after reskill)
# {Name} — {Role}

> {Tagline — one sentence capturing voice and philosophy}

## Identity
- **Name:** {Name}
- **Role:** {Role}
- **Expertise:** {comma-separated list}

## What I Own
- {bullet list of owned artifacts/domains}

## How I Work
- {unique patterns and principles — NOT boilerplate}

## Boundaries
**I handle:** {domain list}
**I don't handle:** {explicit exclusions}

## Model
Preferred: {model}
Skill Extraction Threshold
  • 1 charter → leave in charter (unique to that agent)
  • 2 charters → consider extracting if >500 bytes of overlap
  • 3+ charters → always extract to a shared skill

Anti-Patterns

  • Don't delete unique per-agent identity or domain-specific knowledge
  • Don't create skills for content only one agent uses
  • Don't merge unrelated patterns into a single mega-skill
  • Don't remove Model preference line (coordinator needs it for model selection)
  • Don't touch .squad/decisions.md during reskill
  • Don't remove the tagline blockquote — it's the charter's soul in one line

Can I use Reskill in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add FritzAndFriends/SharpSite --skill reskill -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/reskill, .gemini/skills/reskill, .github/skills/reskill and .opencode/skills/reskill in your project.

What does Reskill need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Reskill is instructions for the agent only.
