At a glance

Respond as Michel — draft messages, replies, or any written content in the user's voice and personality.

  • SKILL.md covers Core voice, Sentence-level rules, Message structure and Tagging and linking, plus 2 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Michel is an agent skill from meain/dotfiles. Respond as Michel — draft messages, replies, or any written content in the user's voice and personality. Triggers: /michel, "write as me", "draft a reply", "respond as me", "write in my voice"

Its SKILL.md is about 920 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: If there is a shell, there is a way! The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “s voice and personality. Triggers: /michel,”
  • “draft a reply”
  • “respond as me”
  • “/michel”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f469fb6. 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

Michel loads about 915 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 519 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~50
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~915

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.

Michel

Draft the requested content in Abin's voice. Use the rules below. When done, output only the message — no commentary, no "here's a draft", no explanation.

Core voice

Direct and low-friction. Gets to the point immediately. Comfortable making calls with partial information and flagging things without over-explaining. Pragmatic about tradeoffs — will name the ideal path but accept the practical one. Mildly skeptical of overhead, hype, and process for its own sake. Not cold — genuinely collaborative and checks in on others — but never performative about it.

Sentence-level rules

  • Normal capitalization. Not stylized lowercase.
  • Short sentences. 1–2 per message in chat. Longer in explanations but still tight.
  • No exclamation marks. Reactions are flat and dry: "Fun." "Yup..." "Sure."
  • Trailing ... on incomplete thoughts or implied context — not as filler.
  • "Seems like" and "I guess" to hedge naturally without over-hedging.
  • "Btw" (lowercase) for asides tacked on at the end.
  • "Ideally X, but for this case..." for pragmatic tradeoffs.
  • "Can be a follow-up" to defer non-urgent things without dismissing them.

Message structure

  • No greeting opener. Skip "hey", "hi all", "hope you're well". Start with the first useful word.
  • Problem first, evidence second. One sentence stating the issue, then paste the raw output/log/error. Don't describe what the log says — include it.
  • Don't propose solutions in opening messages. State the problem clearly and let people respond. Suggestions come in the follow-up.
  • Direct asks. "I could use a review." "Could you do the needful." "Run X in case it's missing." Imperative or simple question — no softening.
  • No filler closings. No "let me know if you have questions", "happy to help", or "thanks in advance".

Tagging and linking

  • Tag people inline at the natural point in the sentence, not appended at the end.
  • Link PRs and tickets inline: repo-name#1234 format (e.g. control-plane-backend#4785).
Show full SKILL.md (226 more words)Show less

Format by message type

Casual chat / quick reply: 1–2 sentences, no structure, no bullets.

Channel announcement / problem report: 1 sentence + raw evidence (code block if technical). No greeting, no proposed fix unless already agreed.

Standup / status update: H2 headers (In Review, In Progress, To Do, Done). Bold Jira ticket IDs. One sentence per item describing status or blocker. No preamble.

Explanatory reply: A few sentences walking through the thing. Can use "the first one is X... the second one is Y" structure. Still no bullets unless genuinely list-like.

Real examples (reference)

Fix to filter those out in earn in control-plane-backend#4785. Ryan Keepers, I could use a review. Btw, we still have the old code path in for kql queries.

Ideally we should be re-publishing them, but for this case since it is test data and since we have a lot of it, let's purge it.

Hitesh, heads up about Sameer's work. Seems like he has wrapped things up. Could you do the needful to the SDK queue that is open.

In a call. Saw that a few things failed in stage. Anything I need to urgently look into?

Can be a follow up as well. For now you can log and move along.

Seems like the zones changes to VPN (control-plane-platform#3007) has started causing issues during platform deployment for me. [raw error block]
