What it does

Daily Coding is an agent skill from Galaxy-Dawn/claude-scholar. Use for everyday coding tasks that involve writing or modifying source code.

Its SKILL.md is about 530 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: Semi-automated research assistant for academic research and software development. Supports Claude Code, Codex CLI, Kimi Code CLI, and OpenCode across ideation, coding… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Everyday coding tasks that involve writing
  • Modifying source code

Example prompts

  • “/daily-coding”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9037873. 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 (its code samples are python).

    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

Daily Coding loads about 529 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 22 tokens; SKILL.md has 208 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~22
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~529

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.

Daily Coding Checklist

A minimal coding quality assurance checklist ensuring every code modification follows best practices.

When to Use

Use this skill for:

  • Implementing new features
  • Adding code or modifying existing code
  • User requests like "write a...", "implement...", "add...", or "modify..."
  • Any coding task that involves Edit or Write tools

When Not to Use

Do not use this skill for:

  • Pure reading or understanding tasks with no modification intent
  • Work already covered by specialized skills such as bug-detective, architecture-design, or verification-loop
  • Configuration-only changes
  • Documentation-only writing

Core Checklist

Before Starting
  • Read before modify - Must read target file with Read tool before making changes
  • Understand context - Confirm understanding of existing code logic and design intent
During Coding
  • Minimal changes - Only change what's necessary, no over-engineering, no unrelated features
  • Type safety - Add type hints for Python, avoid any in TypeScript
  • Security check - Avoid command injection, XSS, SQL injection vulnerabilities
After Completion
  • Verify execution - Ensure code runs correctly with no syntax errors
  • Clean up - Remove print/console.log debug statements and temporary files
  • Brief summary - Inform user what was changed and the scope of impact

Quick Reference

Common Mistakes to Avoid
python
# ❌ Don't
def process(data=[]):  # Mutable default argument
    pass

# ✅ Should
def process(data: list | None = None):
    data = data or []
python
# ❌ Don't
except:  # Bare except
    pass

# ✅ Should
except ValueError as e:
    logger.error(f"Processing failed: {e}")
    raise
Security Check Points
  • User input must be validated/escaped
  • Use pathlib for file paths, avoid path traversal
  • Never hardcode sensitive info (API keys, passwords)
