What it does
Literate Programming is an agent skill from Habitat-Thinking/ai-literacy-superpowers. Use when creating new source files, writing new functions or types, or significantly rewriting existing code — ensures code is structured for humans to read first, with narrative preambles, reasoning-based documentation, and presentation ordered by understanding rather than compiler convention
Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: A set of Claude Code and GitHub Copilot plugins providing the AI Literacy framework's complete development workflow — harness engineering, agent orchestration, literate….
When your agent uses it
- Creating new source files
- Writing new functions
- Significantly rewriting existing code — ensures code is structured for humans to read first
- With narrative preambles
Example prompts
- “/literate-programming”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Every file opens with a narrative preamble
- Documentation explains reasoning, not signatures
- Order of presentation follows logical understanding
- Each file has one clearly stated concern
- Comments explain WHY, not WHAT
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9d35995. 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 (its code samples are go).
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
Literate Programming loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 741 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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 741 words (~1,672 tokens).
“Don Knuth's core insight: code is written for humans to read, and only incidentally for machines to execute. This skill applies a pragmatic version of that principle — not Knuth's web/tangle toolchain, but the discipline of writing code whose structure…”
