What it does

Reply is an agent skill from jigripokri/POHA. Generate 3 reply options + a recommendation for any incoming message thread. The user picks; /draft sends.

Its SKILL.md is about 430 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: Personal Overnight Helper Agent. Runs while you sleep. Serves up a morning brief before your alarm. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/reply”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read the thread. Last 10–20 messages.
  2. Identify the actual question or ask. Strip pleasantries. What does this message actually want from the user?
  3. Read memory/people.md and memory/commitments.md for relevant context (e.g., have they already promised something here?).
  4. Draft three options that span the strategy space
  5. Recommend one based on
  6. Format the output as
  7. Wait for user to pick. "Send A" → invoke /draft to send Option A.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 68f3e38. 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.

    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

Reply loads about 430 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 28 tokens; SKILL.md has 190 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~28
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~430

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.

description
Generate 3 reply options + a recommendation for any incoming message thread. The user picks; /draft sends.

/reply

User shows you a thread. You return three plausible replies and a recommendation. They pick.

Recipe

  1. Read the thread. Last 10–20 messages.

  2. Identify the actual question or ask. Strip pleasantries. What does this message actually want from the user?

  3. Read memory/people.md and memory/commitments.md for relevant context (e.g., have they already promised something here?).

  4. Draft three options that span the strategy space:

    • Option A — Direct yes/agreement: shortest path forward.
    • Option B — Push back or qualify: where the user has constraints, hesitation, or a different read.
    • Option C — Buy time or redirect: defer, ask a clarifying question, change the venue.
  5. Recommend one based on:

    • User's stated priorities in life.md
    • The relationship's pattern (from people.md)
    • Open commitments that might be affected
  6. Format the output as:

**They said:** <one-line restatement of the ask>

**Option A — <flavor>**
<draft text>

**Option B — <flavor>**
<draft text>

**Option C — <flavor>**
<draft text>

**Recommendation: <A/B/C>.** <One sentence why.>

**Wildcard:** <one contrarian take they might not have considered>
  1. Wait for user to pick. "Send A" → invoke /draft to send Option A.

Voice rules

Match the recipient's tone. See /draft for full voice rules.

When NOT to give 3 options

If the message clearly has only one reasonable response (e.g., a simple yes/no logistical question), just give the one reply and a note about why options aren't useful here.

Can I use Reply in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/reply, .gemini/skills/reply, .github/skills/reply and .opencode/skills/reply in your project.

What does Reply need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Reply is instructions for the agent only.

Does Reply access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Reply safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

How many tokens does Reply use?

About 430 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 1.7k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
