What it does
Compound Docs is an agent skill from Microck/ordinary-claude-skills. Capture solved problems as categorized documentation with YAML frontmatter for fast lookup
Its SKILL.md is about 3.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `metadata.json`).
The repository describes itself as: An unappealing collection of Claude Skills and resources.
Example prompts
- “/compound-docs”
Requirements
- Python 3
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Bash, Grep
Workflow steps
7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Detect Confirmation
- Gather Context
- Check Existing Docs
- Generate Filename
- Validate YAML Schema
- Create Documentation
- Cross-Reference & Critical Pattern Detection
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 these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
ReadWriteBashGrep
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 no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Compound Docs loads about 3.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 26 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,297 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: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

allowed-tools: Read, Write, Bash, Grep
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 1,297 words (~3,633 tokens).

With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add Microck/ordinary-claude-skills --skill compound-docs -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/compound-docs, .gemini/skills/compound-docs, .github/skills/compound-docs and .opencode/skills/compound-docs in your project.
What does Compound Docs need to run?
