Answer questions about a GRACE 4 project by navigating .grace current-state artifacts and file-local semantic markup.

  • Works in 5 steps: .grace/context/*.xml for requirements,… → .grace/graph/index.xml then routed graph… → .grace/verification/index.xml then… → …
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Grace Ask is an agent skill from osovv/grace-marketplace. Answer questions about a GRACE 4 project by navigating .grace current-state artifacts and file-local semantic markup.

Its SKILL.md is about 260 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

The repository describes itself as: GRACE (Graph-RAG Anchored Code Engineering): open Agent Skills for contract-driven AI code generation with semantic markup, knowledge graphs, and support for Claude Code, Codex… The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/grace-ask”

Workflow steps

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

  1. .grace/context/*.xml for requirements, technology, principles, deployment, and UX constraints.
  2. .grace/graph/index.xml then routed graph documents for M-* and DF-* ownership.
  3. .grace/verification/index.xml then routed verification documents for V-M-* coverage.
  4. .grace/changes/active/C-* for in-flight approved or draft work.
  5. File-local MODULE_CONTRACT, MODULE_MAP, LINKS:, START_CONTRACT, and START_BLOCK_ anchors.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 70f5ec4. 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

Grace Ask loads about 257 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 32 tokens; SKILL.md has 104 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~32
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~257

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.

<answer_rules>

  • Cite the artifact or anchor that supports each important claim.
  • Distinguish durable current state from active change intent.
  • If legacy GRACE 3 docs are present, explain that they require grace-migrate and are not GRACE 4 truth.
  • Do not invent missing graph or verification facts; report uncertainty and the safest next lookup. </answer_rules>
