What it does
Code Commenting Checklists is an agent skill from kitchen-engineer42/pdf2skills. Use specific checklists to ensure comprehensive and high-quality code commenting for general code, data declarations, and program structures. Apply when writing new code, reviewing existing code, or conducting code reviews to ensure completeness and quality of documentation.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Development, covering Code review. The repository describes itself as: Convert a book into skills directly callable to Claude Code.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Code review
Example prompts
- “/code-commenting-checklists”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Write comments as you write code
- Apply relevant checklist items before committing
- Review against all applicable checklists during self-review
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0d70065. 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 (its code samples are javascript, python and java).
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
Code Commenting Checklists loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 76 tokens; SKILL.md has 405 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 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.

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 405 words (~1,166 tokens).
