What it does

Brief Refresh is an agent skill from NxcoreAI/EverRoom. Regenerate a Context Room brief from the room's current documents and context. Use for brief-refresh tasks.

Its SKILL.md is about 180 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: EverRoom - A workspace that remembers your projects, decisions, and sources.

When your agent uses it

  • Brief-refresh tasks

Example prompts

  • “/brief-refresh”

Workflow steps

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

  1. 调用 room_context_get(roomId) 获取 Room 的文档、会议与资料上下文。
  2. 结合 currentBrief 与检索到的上下文再生成简报:新证据与现有内容冲突时以较新来源为准,并在 status 中说明;证据不足的结论保持原状或留空。
  3. 不得编造文档与会议中不存在的信息;风险(risks)与决策(decisions)必须能对应到具体资料。

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b0d58e5. 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 json).

    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

Brief Refresh loads about 177 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 30 tokens; SKILL.md has 36 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~30
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~177

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 36 words (~177 tokens).
