At a glance

Make a correct update to Parker's prompts, system docs, rubrics, knowledge docs, training corpus, or brand outputs — and propagate the change everywhere it needs to land.

  • Works in 2 steps: Propose (no edits yet) → Execute (only after explicit approval)
  • You are changing any part of the Parker context-engineering system
  • SKILL.md covers Goal, Global changes require…, Why this skill exists and How this skill runs, plus 4 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Update Parker Skill is an agent skill from real-simple-labs/parker-brain. Make a correct update to Parker's prompts, system docs, rubrics, knowledge docs, training corpus, or brand outputs — and propagate the change everywhere it needs to land. Use this skill whenever you are changing any part of the Parker context-engineering system, including tightening a rule, adding a principle, propagating a pattern, adding or modifying a prompt, adding a knowledge doc, or evolving a skill. The skill exists because Parker's docs are highly cross-referenced and inheritance-driven, and updates that…

Its SKILL.md is about 4.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `processes/INDEX.md`, `processes/tighten-rule.md` and `references/canonical-locations.md`).

It sits in Education, covering Quizzes and assessments and Context engineering.

When your agent uses it

  • You are changing any part of the Parker context-engineering system
  • Including tightening a rule
  • Adding a principle
  • Propagating a pattern

Example prompts

  • “/update-parker-skill”

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Propose (no edits yet)
  2. Execute (only after explicit approval)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2a6f6c6. 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

Update Parker Skill loads about 4.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~6.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 148 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,597 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~148
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.6k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~6.5k

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 2,597 words (~4,638 tokens).

“Make a correct update to Parker's context-engineering system — prompts, system docs, rubrics, knowledge docs, training corpus, skills, or brand outputs — without introducing drift, breaking cross-references, or missing downstream impact.”
