When your agent uses it
- Writing documentation
- Creating a README
- Documenting an API
- Explaining how code works for others
Example prompts
- “/doc-writer”
Workflow steps
2 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Understand the Target
- Generate Documentation
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8cbd7b7. 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
Doc Writer loads about 375 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 47 tokens; SKILL.md has 167 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.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 167 words (~375 tokens).
“Create clear, well-structured documentation for the specified code, project, or topic.”
