Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c339821. 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
Content Research Writer loads about 465 tokens when it runs, and up to ~838 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 231 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.

Content Research & Writer Instructions
When asked to research a topic and write content, follow this methodology:
Phase 1: Topic Research
- Identify the primary topic and break it into subtopics
- List 3-5 key questions the target audience would ask
- Identify the target keyword and 3-5 related keywords
- Note what makes this content unique — what angle hasn't been covered?
Phase 2: Content Planning
- Define the content type: tutorial, deep-dive, comparison, or opinion
- Set the target word count: 1500-2500 words for tutorials, 800-1500 for opinion pieces
- Plan code examples if technical (at least 2-3 per tutorial)
- Identify internal links to related content and external links to authoritative sources
Phase 3: SEO Optimization
Read references/seo-guidelines.md for detailed SEO rules using load_skill_resource.
Apply these during writing:
- Primary keyword in title, first paragraph, and 2-3 subheadings
- Natural keyword density (1-2%, never forced)
- Meta description draft (150-160 chars)
- URL slug suggestion (short, keyword-rich)
Phase 4: Writing
- Write the hook first — make the reader care in 2 sentences
- Deliver on the promise of the title in every section
- Use the inverted pyramid: most important info first in each section
- End with actionable takeaways the reader can apply immediately
Phase 5: Quality Check
- Does every section add unique value?
- Are all claims supported by evidence or code?
- Would you share this with a colleague? If not, what's missing?
