Rewrite any text in a different tone — formal, casual, friendly, bold, or concise.

  • SKILL.md covers Examples and Instructions

What it does

Tone Shifter is an agent skill from mergisi/awesome-openclaw-agents. Rewrite any text in a different tone — formal, casual, friendly, bold, or concise.

Its SKILL.md is about 290 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts and assets.

The repository describes itself as: 162 production-ready AI agent templates for OpenClaw. SOUL.md configs across 19 categories. Submit yours! The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/tone-shifter”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 05820c5. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/, which the agent can run.

    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

Tone Shifter loads about 292 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 24 tokens; SKILL.md has 157 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~24
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~292

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
