What it does

English Intensive Reader is an agent skill from infometa/workbuddyskills. UseWhen: 1. 用户想精读一篇英文文章、拆解长难句、标注生词 2. 用户需要生成英文阅读笔记或双栏精读报告 3. 用户备考四六级 / 考研阅读 / 外刊阅读,需要逐句语法分析 4. 用户想把生词加入单词本或导出 Anki 复习卡片 5. 用户说「帮我精读」「逐句讲解」「语法拆解」「生词标注」「阅读笔记」「长难句分析」「句子成分分析」 6. 用户说 intensive reading、sentence analysis、grammar breakdown、vocabulary notes、reading note、add to wordbook、export anki、guided reading

Its SKILL.md is about 2.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 14 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/anti-hallucination-rules.md`, `references/grammar-tag-taxonomy.md` and `references/guided-mode.md`).

It sits in Education, covering Study guides and flashcards. The repository describes itself as: WorkBuddy skills / connectors / experts archive for offline study.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Study guides and flashcards

Example prompts

  • “/english-intensive-reader”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. 逐句可追溯:sentence_analysis.backbone 必须锚定原句,不添加原文没有的成分;vocab_notes.example 必须从原文取句,不编造。
  2. 分级精准:生词标注严格按 level-vocab-bands.md 词表,CET4 级别不标 CET6 / 考研词汇为生词;CET6 级别不标 CET4 词汇为生词。
  3. 双栏笔记:左栏原文(生词高亮 + 长难句下划线)+ 右栏分析(语法 + 词义),底部全文摘要 + 句型。
  4. 单词本持久化:wordbook.json 本地存储,跨 session 累积,支持 Anki CSV 导出。
  5. 防幻觉闭环:所有标注必须有原文锚点;URL 抓取失败 → 报错退出,不猜测内容;语法标签来自 grammar-tag-taxonomy.md 枚举,不自造标签。

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 91b77ea. 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/ (Python), 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

English Intensive Reader loads about 2.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~16k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 83 tokens; SKILL.md has 686 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~83
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.9k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~16k

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.
