What it does
Clarify Docs is an agent skill from serpro69/claude-toolbox. TRIGGER when: asked to clarify or improve existing documentation, PR drafts or issue descriptions, including URLs and pasted bodies. Saves results locally, grounded in requirements and source while preserving meaning. Not for requests to implement, fix or work on an issue, code, config, generic response brevity, or agent instructions. Explicit instruction or SKILL.md targets receive a $kk:implement suggestion without edits or automatic handoff.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 231 other files (for example `evals/README.md`, `evals/agent-instruction-target/eval.json` and `evals/agent-instruction-target/test-files/AGENTS.md`).
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Agent instruction files. The repository describes itself as: Minimal by design, explicitly multi-lang, production-ready and battle-tested collection of configs and plugins for your Claude Code agentic development workflows: mcp, configs…

Requirements

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

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c2d28c9. 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 script files (Python, from the files we listed), which the agent can run.
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
Clarify Docs loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 115 tokens; SKILL.md has 549 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 549 words (~1,182 tokens).
“Improve an existing document so its intended reader can understand the underlying work. Produce a local edit; success depends on comprehension and fidelity, with no document-length target.”
