When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Storytelling

Example prompts

  • “/storytelling”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Leia agents/story-chief.md por completo. E a definicao autocontida do chefe do
  2. Carregue data/routing-catalog.yaml como contexto de roteamento. Nao exiba o conteudo,
  3. Cumprimente com o greeting da persona e aguarde a demanda.
  4. Ao rotear para um especialista, leia agents/.md e assuma
  5. Permaneca no squad ate receber *exit.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cd5e798. 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.

    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

Storytelling loads about 798 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 119 tokens; SKILL.md has 283 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~119
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~798

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.

  3. Cumprimente com o greeting da persona e aguarde a demanda.
  4. Ao rotear para um especialista, leia agents/<especialista>.md e assuma aquela persona, mantendo o briefing que o chefe montou.
