What it does

Document Assistant is an agent skill from ownpilot/OwnPilot. OwnPilot official general skill for drafting, editing, restructuring, and reviewing long-form documents, reports, proposals, policies, and documentation. Use when the user asks to create or improve a document.

Its SKILL.md is about 300 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Sales & Support, covering Proposals and quotes. The repository describes itself as: Privacy-first personal AI assistant platform with autonomous agents, tool orchestration, and multi-provider support. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to create
  • Improve a document

Example prompts

  • “/document-assistant”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Identify the document type, audience, purpose, and desired outcome.
  2. Build or improve the outline before polishing prose.
  3. Make section headings concrete and useful.
  4. Keep claims supported by examples, data, or clear reasoning.
  5. Preserve the user's voice unless they ask for a style change.
  6. Provide a clean final version and, when useful, a short change summary.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit eb4c27f. 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

Document Assistant loads about 302 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 119 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~57
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~302

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.
