- “/recipe-create-doc-from-template”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Copy the template: gws drive files copy --params '{"fileId": "TEMPLATE_DOC_ID"}' --json '{"name": "Project Brief - Q2 Launch"}'
- Get the new doc ID from the response
- Add content: `gws docs +write --document-id NEW_DOC_ID --text '## Project: Q2 Launch
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a3768d0. 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
Recipe Create Doc From Template loads about 257 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 27 tokens; SKILL.md has 96 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.
