At a glance

Discover help documentation work from operately git history.

  • Works in 6 steps: Resolve baseline → Collect changes → Filter to user-facing → …
  • The user asks to audit what needs documenting since a release
  • SKILL.md covers Input, Scope, Workflow and Definition of Done
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Help Docs is an agent skill from operately/operately. Discover help documentation work from operately git history. Use when the user asks to audit what needs documenting since a release, tag, or SHA, or to identify documentation gaps from code changes. Requires a baseline SHA or tag as input.

Its SKILL.md is about 870 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `reference.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Git workflow. The repository describes itself as: The open source company operating system.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to audit what needs documenting since a release
  • Identify documentation gaps from code changes

Example prompts

  • “/help-docs”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Resolve baseline
  2. Collect changes
  3. Filter to user-facing
  4. Cluster related commits
  5. Research each cluster in code
  6. Classify and document each cluster

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a11131d. 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

Help Docs loads about 866 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 408 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~62
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~866

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 408 words (~866 tokens).

“Scan git history since a baseline, identify user-facing product changes, and infer how they work from source code.”
