What it does
Docs Reader Review is an agent skill from prisma/web, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Use when a docs page or section has been written or rewritten and is about to be handed over, when the operator says "reader review", "does this read like a human wrote it", "too much jargon", "plain language", or when a docs brief asks for a review before a pull request.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 9 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/ai-writing-signs.md`, `references/banned-terms.md` and `references/explain-not-state.md`).
It sits in Writing & Content, covering Plain language and style rules and Pull requests. It works with Prisma. The repository describes itself as: 📚 Prisma Web Monorepo.
When your agent uses it

- Rewritten and is about to be handed over

Example prompts

- “does this read like a human wrote it”
- “too much jargon”
- “/docs-reader-review”
Requirements
- Python 3

Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 00dd22d. 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 3 files in scripts/ (Shell and Python), which the agent can run.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
en.wikipedia.org
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
Docs Reader Review loads about 2.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~8.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 73 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,518 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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,518 words (~2,424 tokens).
“Run a page through the eyes of the reader it is for, before anyone else sees it. The biggest complaint about the Prisma docs is that pages read as if a model wrote them: vocabulary from the source code, mechanism…”
