What it does

Rule Research is an agent skill from millionco/react-doctor. Define a precise React Doctor rule contract before implementation. Use when validating a rule idea, collecting official or open-source evidence, identifying false-positive traps, choosing detector precision, or setting first-version boundaries.

Its SKILL.md is about 570 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development. It works with React. The repository describes itself as: Your agent writes bad React. This catches it.

When your agent uses it

  • Validating a rule idea
  • Collecting official
  • Open-source evidence
  • Identifying false-positive traps

Example prompts

  • “/rule-research”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Define the rule in one sentence: This rule catches that causes .
  2. Explain the runtime reason.
  3. Inspect nearby rules, tests, utilities, and the generated registry.
  4. Use truffler before proposing a new detector or helper
  5. Gather official documentation, implementation notes, related linter behavior, and open-source examples.
  6. Separate strong positives, adjacent patterns, valid traps, and unsupported cases.
  7. Choose syntax-only, scope-aware, or path-aware detection.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 281fdc9. 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:

    • bunx

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use bunx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Rule Research loads about 566 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 185 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~65
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~566

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 185 words (~566 tokens).

“Produce a rule contract that rule-writing can implement without guessing.”
