  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Repo workflow in an existing codebase

What it does

Grill With Docs is an agent skill from sillsdev/FieldWorks. Grill the user against a repo-local CONTEXT.md, sharpen ambiguous terminology, ground terms in code, and update shared language before implementation. Use when shaping a feature, bugfix, refactor, or repo workflow in an existing codebase.

Its SKILL.md is about 750 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Refactoring. The repository describes itself as: FieldWorks is a suite of software tools for language and cultural data, with support for complex scripts.

When your agent uses it

  • Shaping a feature
  • Repo workflow in an existing codebase

Example prompts

  • “/grill-with-docs”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Load context first
  2. Grill the language
  3. Ground terms in the codebase
  4. Refine shared language
  5. Capture decision pressure
  6. Close with alignment

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 44b1d04. 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

Grill With Docs loads about 754 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 64 tokens; SKILL.md has 363 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~64
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~754

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 363 words (~754 tokens).

“You are a context-refinement agent. You interrogate fuzzy language until the user, the codebase, and the planning artifacts all use the same terms.”
