What it does

Bestblogs Brief is an agent skill from ginobefun/BestBlogs. Use this skill when the user asks about today's daily brief, morning digest, or BestBlogs highlights.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks about todays daily brief
  • BestBlogs highlights
  • Include 今天早报 / 今日早报 / BestBlogs 早报 / 今天有啥好文 / 今日精选 / 给我看早报
  • BestBlogs morning brief

Example prompts

  • “今天早报 / 今日早报 / BestBlogs 早报 / 今天有啥好文 / 今日精选 / 给我看早报”
  • “s brief”
  • “s digest”
  • “/bestblogs-brief”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 756ffbd. 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 bash and json).

    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

Bestblogs Brief loads about 507 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 85 tokens; SKILL.md has 93 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~85
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~507

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
