When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Brand strategy and identity

Example prompts

  • “/applying-brand-guidelines”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Title Slide: Company logo, presentation title, date, presenter
  2. Section Divider: Section title with blue background
  3. Content Slide: Title bar with blue background, white content area
  4. Data Slide: For charts/graphs, maintain color palette

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1056d29. 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

Applying Brand Guidelines loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 584 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~40
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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.
