What it does

Architect Foundations is an agent skill from h30190/HJPLUS_Taiwan_Architect_KB. This skill should be used when an architecture question needs foundational reference data — architects and theorists (Vitruvius through Kere), quantitative rules of thumb from IBC, ASHRAE 90.1, ADA/ABA, NFPA 101, Eurocodes, Neufert, and Architectural Graphic Standards, building typologies (residential, commercial, institutional, industrial), design quality frameworks (RIBA Plan of Work 2020, AIA Design Excellence, CABE), sustainability rating systems (LEED, BREEAM, Passive House, WELL, Living Building Challenge…

Its SKILL.md is about 13k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `domain.md`).

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Design review and critique. The repository describes itself as: 一個開源的台灣AEC產業知識庫，只要你願意共享經驗與知識就歡迎加入我們.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 35ed06e. 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

Architect Foundations loads about 13k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 223 tokens; SKILL.md has 6,182 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~223
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~13k

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 6,182 words (~13,171 tokens).

“Auto-activated knowledge layer. Every response involving building architecture draws from this reference base before routing to specialized skills.”
