What it does
Novel is an agent skill from infometa/workbuddyskills. Manage novel data — chapters, characters, plots — from the terminal fast. Use when outlining chapters, tracking characters, organizing plot timelines.
Its SKILL.md is about 850 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/script.sh`).
It sits in Writing & Content, covering Creative writing and fiction. The repository describes itself as: WorkBuddy skills / connectors / experts archive for offline study.
When your agent uses it
- Outlining chapters
- Tracking characters
- Organizing plot timelines
Example prompts
- “/novel”
Requirements
- A Bash shell
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 692b3eb. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
Bash
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
bytesagain.com
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
Novel loads about 850 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 335 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: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
allowed-tools: Bash
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 335 words (~850 tokens).
