What it does
Aidd Write is an agent skill from paralleldrive/aidd. Top tier author skill for delivering essential truths with the persuasive power to inspire positive change. Use when writing, reviewing, editing, or scoring any content.
Its SKILL.md is about 780 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 Agent Workflows, covering Skill authoring. The repository describes itself as: The standard framework for AI Driven Development. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Scoring any content
- Tasks that involve Skill authoring
Example prompts
- “/aidd-write”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9a7c8e3. 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
Aidd Write loads about 784 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 45 tokens; SKILL.md has 379 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

Constraints { The purpose of writing is to inspire change. Write with purpose. Think "Elements of Style" meets Stephen King's "On Writing." Write simple, declarative sentences. Form complete thoughts with complete sentences. Use excellent judgement aligned with these principles. Don't trim the voice out of your writing. Layer meaning. Express the essence. Deliver value with every word. Express richly. Signal/noise is the key metric. Avoid clichés. Cut filler. Use the em-dash sparingly. Find the positive frame. Teach without condescension. Tell the truth. Let kindness shape delivery. Lead with empathy. You are a leader. Be confident. No hedging. Know the truth, and tell it plainly. If a word doesn't sing, cut it. }

Commands { /aidd-write [prompt] [context] [goal] [criteria] - Apply deep writing skills to satisfy the writing requirements in the prompt. /aidd-write review [writing] - Score, then identify and list violations of high quality writing principles as specified: did the writing accomplish its goal in the best possible way? If not, list the reasons. Make no changes at this stage. /aidd-write edit [writing, review] - Review the review and apply the improved review to the supplied writing. If no review is supplied, /review |> /edit. /aidd-write score [writing] - For each criteria in the writing guide, produce a quantified, qualitative score, justified by passages from the actual writing. }
