What it does

Ran is an agent skill from haacked/dotfiles. Show which workflow steps have run against the current branch and which are missing or stale. Use when the user asks "have we run simplify and review-code on this branch?", "did I skip a step?", or runs /ran, especially after a context clear when the session no longer remembers what happened.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/ran-report.sh` and `scripts/tests/test-ran-report.sh`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code (or similar products)

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

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks have we run simplify and review-code on this branch?
  • Did I skip a step?
  • Especially after a context clear when the session no longer remembers what happened

Example prompts

  • “have we run simplify and review-code on this branch?”
  • “did I skip a step?”
  • “/ran”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code (or similar products)

Workflow steps

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

  1. Run the report
  2. Print the checklist verbatim. It is already formatted; do not restyle it, re-sort it, or convert it to a table.
  3. If anything is outstanding, offer to run those steps in pipeline order. Do not run them without being asked.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 23ffed9. 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 4 files in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • gh

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use gh, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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.

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code (or similar products)

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Ran loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,003 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~74
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

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 1,003 words (~1,601 tokens).

“Answers one question: which steps of the workflow have already run against this branch?”

Questions about Ran

What does Ran do?

Show which workflow steps have run against the current branch and which are missing or stale. Ran is an agent skill from haacked/dotfiles. Show which workflow steps have run against the current branch and which are missing or stale.

When should I use Ran?

Ran fits situations like: the user asks have we run simplify and review-code on this branch?; did I skip a step?; especially after a context clear when the session no longer remembers what happened.

How do I install Ran in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add haacked/dotfiles --skill ran -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (ai/skills/ran in haacked/dotfiles) into .claude/skills/ran in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Ran in Codex?

Run `npx skills add haacked/dotfiles --skill ran -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (ai/skills/ran in haacked/dotfiles) into .agents/skills/ran in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Ran in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add haacked/dotfiles --skill ran -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/ran, .gemini/skills/ran, .github/skills/ran and .opencode/skills/ran in your project.

What does Ran need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Ran needs a shell for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (gh). Our summary lists: A Bash shell. Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code (or similar products).

Does Ran access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use gh, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Ran safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.

What licence does Ran use?

No licence was found for Ran or its repository. Without one, default copyright applies: ask the author before reusing or redistributing it.

How many tokens does Ran use?

About 1.6k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 6.4k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Ran?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Ran: PR Babysitter (openinterpreter/openinterpreter, 69k stars), Code Review Checklist (shareAI-lab/learn-claude-code, 78k stars), Backend Code Review (langflow-ai/langflow, 156k stars) and Understand Diff Analysis (Egonex-AI/Understand-Anything, 86k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
