What it does

Note is an agent skill from haacked/dotfiles. Capture complex technical discoveries into structured, reusable notes. Use when explaining system behaviors, documenting debugging insights, or preserving knowledge.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 9 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/note-find-or-create.sh`, `scripts/note-find.sh` and `scripts/note-list.sh`).

It sits in Development. The repository describes itself as: My dotfiles and scripts I use on dev machines.

When your agent uses it

  • Explaining system behaviors
  • Documenting debugging insights
  • Preserving knowledge

Example prompts

  • “/note”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell

Workflow steps

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

  1. Parse Arguments
  2. Route by Mode

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 50b32d3. 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

    Ships 5 files in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.

    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

Note loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 526 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~43
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 526 words (~1,109 tokens).
