What it does

Cookbook Audit is an agent skill from Microck/ordinary-claude-skills. Audit an Anthropic Cookbook notebook based on a rubric. Use whenever a notebook review or audit is requested.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `metadata.json`).

It sits in Education, covering Quizzes and assessments. The repository describes itself as: An unappealing collection of Claude Skills and resources.

When your agent uses it

  • A notebook review
  • Audit is requested

Example prompts

  • “/cookbook-audit”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in API_KEY

Workflow steps

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

  1. Narrative Quality: X/5
  2. Code Quality: X/5
  3. Technical Accuracy: X/5
  4. Actionability & Understanding: X/5
  5. Introduction (Required)
  6. Prerequisites & Setup (Required)
  7. Main Content (Required)
  8. Conclusion (Recommended)

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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • API_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Cookbook Audit loads about 3.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 31 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,518 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~31
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.1k

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,518 words (~3,052 tokens).

“Review the requested Cookbook notebook using the guidelines and rubrics in style_guide.md. Provide a score based on scoring guidelines and recommendations on improving the cookbook.”
