What it does

Discussion Commenter is an agent skill from pamelafox/presentation-skills. Post Q&A entries from markdown writeups as comments to a GitHub Discussion. Use when the user wants to post writeup content to a discussion thread.

Its SKILL.md is about 310 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `post_qas.py`).

It sits in Documents & Office. It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Skills for AI agents to process presentations - helpful for teachers and speakers. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants to post writeup content to a discussion thread

Example prompts

  • “/discussion-commenter”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. writeup_path - Path to the markdown writeup file containing Q&As
  2. discussion_url - Full URL to the GitHub discussion
  3. date - Date string to prefix each comment (e.g., "2026/01/06")

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2b809b3. 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

    Ships script files (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • uv

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • github.com

    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

Discussion Commenter loads about 307 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 42 tokens; SKILL.md has 109 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~42
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~307

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.
