What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cce7f29. 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

Better Typography loads about 2.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 108 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,516 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~108
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~2.8k

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 1,516 words (~2,773 tokens).

“Typography is mostly restraint: a sensible scale, comfortable spacing, enough contrast. A label, a table cell, a marketing headline and an article paragraph do not share one set of rules.”
