Rules for writing Handsontable guide pages: required frontmatter, page structure, framework-specific example embedding, writing style and sidebar registration.

  • Works in 8 steps: Frontmatter (required) → Page structure → Framework-specific content → …
  • Creating a new documentation page in docs/content/guides
  • SKILL.md covers 1. Frontmatter (required), 2. Page structure, 3. Framework-specific content and 4. Example embedding, plus 5 more sections
  • Calls npm

What it does

Pages in docs/content/guides start with required YAML frontmatter that includes a title and a metaTitle. A menuTag of new or updated marks fresh or substantially changed pages but is left off for typo, link and changelog edits, and addedIn holds the full quoted version of the release that introduced a feature, since a malformed or never-released version makes the build fail. The body has no H1, begins with a one or two sentence overview and a table of contents marker, then second-level headings from basic to advanced.

Framework-specific content is wrapped in only-for blocks for JavaScript, React, Angular and Vue, and examples are embedded with example blocks whose flags set tab order, with Vue 3 using a single TypeScript single-file component and Angular using TypeScript and HTML tabs. Style rules call for active voice, American English, short sentences, the second person, an Oxford comma, no evaluative adjectives, bold for UI elements, code formatting for API names, a full stop on every sentence and the docs site's internal link syntax. Sidebar registration and trademark rules are covered as well.

When your agent uses it

  • Creating a new documentation page in docs/content/guides
  • Editing an existing guide and deciding whether it needs a menu tag
  • Embedding examples that differ for JavaScript, React, Angular and Vue
  • Checking a page against the docs writing style

Example prompts

  • “Write a guide page for the new row hiding feature with the required frontmatter.”
  • “Embed the example for the Vue 3 and Angular tabs on the comments page.”
  • “Edit this docs page to follow the style rules and tell me whether the menu tag should change.”

Requirements

  • A checkout of the Handsontable repository

Workflow steps

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

  1. Frontmatter (required)
  2. Page structure
  3. Framework-specific content
  4. Example embedding
  5. Writing style
  6. Trademark
  7. Sidebar registration
  8. Code example generation

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit fff66b1. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npm

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, 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.

Context cost

Handsontable Docs Page Writing loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 53 tokens; SKILL.md has 383 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~53
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); 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 383 words (~1,083 tokens).

“Put the ::: markers on their own lines, with blank lines around the content. Frameworks: javascript, react, angular, vue.”
