What it does

Discussion is an agent skill from greenfield-inc/Pane. Have an interactive discussion about a topic, approach, feature, or bug without making code changes. Researches the codebase as needed and talks through options. Use to think through an approach before planning or coding.

Its SKILL.md is about 670 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows. The repository describes itself as: Terminal-first, open-source AI agent manager for any CLI agent (agent agnostic), any OS (mac, windows, linux). The Open-Source Agentic Development Environment for running…

When your agent uses it

  • Think through an approach before planning

Example prompts

  • “/discussion”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Research as needed
  2. Discuss with the user
  3. Hand off and suggest next steps

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0c471a3. 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

Discussion loads about 666 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 58 tokens; SKILL.md has 303 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~58
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~666

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 303 words (~666 tokens).

“Talk the topic through with the user, back and forth, until the ideas, tradeoffs, and goal are clear enough to plan or build.”
