What it does
Code Layout Evaluation Principles is an agent skill from kitchen-engineer42/pdf2skills. Evaluate code layout quality based on accuracy, consistency, readability, and maintainability rather than aesthetics. Use when establishing coding standards, reviewing code formatting, or making decisions about layout conventions.
Its SKILL.md is about 380 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 quality, Plain language and style rules and Linting and formatting. The repository describes itself as: Convert a book into skills directly callable to Claude Code.
When your agent uses it
- Establishing coding standards
- Reviewing code formatting
- Making decisions about layout conventions
Example prompts
- “/code-layout-evaluation-principles”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Accuracy - Layout correctly represents code structure
- Consistency - Layout follows established conventions throughout
- Readability - Layout enhances code comprehension
- Maintainability - Layout supports easy modification
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.
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 Layout Evaluation Principles loads about 383 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 66 tokens; SKILL.md has 156 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.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 156 words (~383 tokens).
“Apply these principles when evaluating or establishing code layout standards.”
