What it does
Story Explanation is an agent skill from Microck/ordinary-claude-skills. Create compelling story-format summaries using UltraThink to find the best narrative framing. Support multiple formats - 3-part narrative, n-length with inline links, abridged 5-line, or comprehensive via Foundry MCP. USE WHEN user says 'create story explanation', 'narrative summary', 'explain as a story', or wants content in Daniel's conversational first-person voice.
Its SKILL.md is about 4.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `metadata.json`).
It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: An unappealing collection of Claude Skills and resources.
When your agent uses it
- User says create story explanation
- Narrative summary
- Explain as a story
- Wants content in Daniels conversational first-person voice
Example prompts
- “create story explanation”
- “narrative summary”
- “explain as a story”
- “/story-explanation”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Content Extraction
- Activate Be Creative Skill
- Deep UltraThink Analysis (via Be Creative)
- Multiple Framings + Best Selection (via UltraThink)
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 (its code samples are bash and typescript).
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
Story Explanation loads about 4.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 97 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,753 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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 1,753 words (~4,572 tokens).
“Before starting any task with this skill, load complete PAI context:”
- name
- story-explanation
Files
SKILL.md and 1 other file in skills_all/story-explanation of Microck/ordinary-claude-skills.
