When your agent uses it

Crafting narratives that connect product value to customer pain through clear setup-conflict-resolution arcs
Tasks that involve Storytelling

Example prompts

“/storytelling”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

Audience & Conflict – identify who the hero is (customer persona) and what obstacle they face.
Story Arc (SCAR) – Situation → Complication → Action → Resolution.
Characterization – give personas motives, stakes, and quotes.
Sensory Detail – use vivid language, specific metrics, and concrete examples.
Moral/CTA – tie resolution back to product value and explicit next step.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 78e0419. 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

Storytelling loads about 362 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 33 tokens; SKILL.md has 147 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~33
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~362

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.
