What it does

To Prompt is an agent skill from pedronauck/skills. Create a handoff brief for another LLM to implement. Preserve accepted decisions and write to docs/prompts/; excludes one-shot questions and end-user copy.

Its SKILL.md is about 530 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including assets (for example `assets/brief-template.md`).

The repository describes itself as: My personal favorite skills.

Example prompts

  • “/to-prompt”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Classify the task — bug fix, improvement, or feature — and draft a one-paragraph statement of the problem and the outcome wanted.
  2. Gather the evidence. Read the code paths involved; quote current code as it exists; capture the relevant error/log excerpts, excluding…
  3. Write the brief from the template. Copy assets/brief-template.md to docs/prompts/_.md (create the directory if absent; slug =…
  4. Check decision fidelity. Separate user-approved constraints from suggestions and unresolved choices. Preserve the requested outcome and…
  5. Hand off. Reply with the file path and a one-line summary of what the brief asks for.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0422940. 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

To Prompt loads about 533 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 41 tokens; SKILL.md has 234 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~41
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~533

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 234 words (~533 tokens).

“Write a brief, not a solution. The brief carries everything the receiving LLM needs to choose the implementation itself — the problem, the current state, the requirements, the constraints — and preserves any implementation constraints or approved plan already supplied…”
