When your agent uses it
- Fostering collaboration that values community over individual competition
Example prompts
- “/ubuntu-collective-knowledge-task-designer”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Each student's family/community connection is unique. Only Amara can interview her grandmother who ran a shop on the high street for 40…
- The synthesis requires multiple perspectives. The collective timeline only reveals the complexity of local history when it includes…

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6bbbce4. 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
Ubuntu Collective Knowledge Task Designer loads about 5.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,091 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 2,091 words (~5,827 tokens).
“Redesigns learning tasks through the lens of Ubuntu philosophy — the African concept of "umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu" (a person is a person through other persons) — so that knowledge building is genuinely collective rather than individual. Western education typically structures…”
