Fallback Doc With Delegation is an agent skill from HKUDS/OpenSpace. Generate professional documents after tool failures using shellagent for complex formats or writefile for simple text/markdown
Its SKILL.md is about 2.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file.
It sits in Documents & Office. The repository describes itself as: "OpenSpace: The Skill Management Layer for AI Agents" -- https://open-space.cloud/. The licence is MIT.
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3827781. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are python and markdown).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Fallback Doc With Delegation loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 554 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.
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.
The full file from HKUDS/OpenSpace at commit 3827781, republished under its MIT licence (© HKUDS). 554 words, ~2,214 tokens.
.claude/skills/fallback-doc-with-delegation/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder). This skill also uses 1 other file; get the full folder from GitHub.Use this workflow when attempting to generate a document or report, but multiple primary data source tools fail simultaneously:
read_file returns binary/image data instead of text (common with PDFs)search_web returns errors or no resultsexecute_code_sandbox fails unexpectedlyKey insight: Rather than getting stuck on failed data retrieval, pivot immediately to generating the document using the most appropriate available method—either shell_agent for complex formats or write_file for simple text.
Recognize when you're in a fallback scenario:
TOOL_FAILURE_INDICATORS = [
"read_file returns binary or image data",
"search_web returns unknown error or empty results",
"execute_code_sandbox fails repeatedly",
"Multiple consecutive tool failures on data retrieval"
]Decision point: If 2+ indicators are present, proceed to Step 2.
Critical Decision: Select between shell_agent and write_file based on document complexity:
Use shell_agent when... | Use write_file when... |
|---|---|
| Generating PDFs or formatted documents | Creating simple markdown/text files |
| Complex layout or styling needed | Plain structured content is sufficient |
| External libraries required (reportlab, pandoc) | No special formatting libraries needed |
| Multi-step generation process | Single-pass content generation |
| Verification/validation needed | Direct file creation is adequate |
Decision Tree:
Is the output a PDF or complex formatted document?
├── YES → Use shell_agent (delegates to skilled agent)
└── NO → Is it markdown or plain text?
├── YES → Use write_file (direct content generation)
└── NO → Use shell_agent (handles uncertainty)For PDFs and complex formatting:
# Delegate to shell_agent with clear task description
shell_agent(
task="Generate a professional [document type] about [topic]. "
"Use appropriate libraries (e.g., reportlab for PDFs). "
"Include: [list key sections/requirements]. "
"Save to working directory as [filename]."
)Advantages of shell_agent:
Example:
shell_agent(
task="Create a 1-page SBAR (Situation-Background-Assessment-Recommendation) "
"template PDF with 4 sections. Each section should have guiding points "
"and blank lined spaces for user input. Use reportlab library. "
"Save as SBAR_template.pdf in current directory."
)For markdown and plain text:
