What it does

Author Page is an agent skill from MetaMask/metamask-docs. Scaffold or draft new MetaMask documentation to editorial standards. Use when creating a new page, writing a first draft, or helping a non-writer meet the documentation team's expectations.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with Ethereum. The repository describes itself as: Developer documentation for MetaMask. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Creating a new page
  • Writing a first draft
  • Helping a non-writer meet the documentation teams expectations

Example prompts

  • “/author-page”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Determine conventions
  2. Scaffold the page
  3. Write the content
  4. Verify the file is complete
  5. Remind the contributor

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8be8eb9. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • bash
    • npm

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • docs.infura.io

    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

Author Page loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 561 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
~1.7k

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.

Scaffold or draft new MetaMask documentation to editorial standards. Use when creating a new page, writing a first draft, or helping a non-writer meet the documentation team's expectations.

Author a new documentation page

Help create a new documentation page that follows MetaMask editorial standards from the start.

When to use

  • You need to scaffold a new page or write a first draft.
  • You are helping someone who is not a writer produce content that meets team expectations.

Inputs

Ask the user for any information they have not already provided:

  1. Product area - which product is this for? (MetaMask Connect, Embedded Wallets, Smart Accounts Kit, Agent Wallet, Snaps). Infura API and dashboard docs live at Infura documentation and are not authored in this repository.
  2. Content type - what kind of page? (concept/explanation, how-to guide, quickstart, reference, tutorial, troubleshooting)
  3. Topic - what is the page about?
  4. File path - where should the file live? (Suggest one based on product and content type if the user doesn't specify.)

Step 1: Determine conventions

Based on the product and content type, load the relevant rules:

  • .cursor/rules/content-types.mdc - structural expectations for the content type.
  • .cursor/rules/product-*.mdc - product-specific terminology and conventions.
  • .cursor/rules/editorial-voice.mdc - tone and voice.
  • .cursor/rules/markdown-formatting.mdc - formatting conventions.
  • .cursor/rules/terminology.mdc - required terms and casing.

Check how existing pages in the same folder are structured. Match their conventions for headings, front-matter fields, intro style, and parameter formats.

Step 2: Scaffold the page

Create the file with the correct structure for its content type.

Page metadata

Follow page metadata rules in .cursor/rules/markdown-formatting.mdc (required description, recommended keywords, optional sidebar_label only when the nav label would otherwise be too long or wordy, and the title vs duplicate H1 rule). Do not repeat or contradict that rule here.

Structure by content type

Concept / Explanation (for concepts/ or learn/ folders):

markdown

Step 3: Write the content

Fill in the scaffold with content based on what the user provides. Follow these rules:

  • Voice: active, present tense, second person ("you"). Use contractions where appropriate.
  • First sentence: get to the point. Answer "what" or "why" immediately.
  • No em/en dashes: use commas, parentheses, or semicolons.
  • Sentence case for all headings.
  • One sentence per line, wrapped at about 100 columns.
  • Code blocks: always include a language tag. Use bash npm2yarn for install commands.
  • Terminology: use the required forms from terminology.mdc.
  • No marketing language: no "powerful," "seamless," "best-in-class."
  • No invented API behavior: if you are not certain about a parameter, return value, or behavior, add a :::note admonition flagging it for review rather than stating it as fact.

Step 4: Verify the file is complete

Before finishing, check:

  • Page metadata includes description; add sidebar_label only when the default nav label would be too long or wordy (see markdown-formatting.mdc).
  • Opening paragraph answers "what" and "why" in the first 1-2 sentences.
  • Structure matches the content type.
  • Terminology matches terminology.mdc and the product rule file.
  • Code blocks have language tags.
  • No em dashes, en dashes, or marketing language.
  • File name uses lowercase and dashes (send-transactions.md, not sendTransactions.md).
  • File is placed in the correct product and content-type folder.

Step 5: Remind the contributor

After creating the page, remind the user to:

  1. Add the page to the correct sidebar file (see contributor-workflow.mdc for the mapping).
  2. If any page was moved, renamed, or removed in the same change set, add redirects in vercel.json (see contributor-workflow.mdc).
  3. Preview locally with npm start.
  4. Check that the CI linter passes before requesting review.
