What it does
Show Your Work Kleon is an agent skill from simbajigege/book2skills. Apply Austin Kleon's sharing framework. Trigger on: "what should I share?", "build an audience", "document my creative process".
Its SKILL.md is about 3.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files (for example `README.md`, `quotes/audience-community-quotes.md` and `quotes/sharing-process-quotes.md`).
The repository describes itself as: Create best skills based on best books.
When your agent uses it
- : what should I share?
- Build an audience
- Document my creative process
Example prompts
- “s sharing framework. Trigger on:”
- “build an audience”
- “document my creative process”
- “/show-your-work-kleon”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- What is genuinely interesting about this?
- Who specifically would care about this?
- What does it add to them?
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e5ba66c. 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
Show Your Work Kleon loads about 3.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 37 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,977 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 1,977 words (~3,499 tokens).
“Austin Kleon's Show Your Work! makes a single counterintuitive argument: you don't need talent, credentials, or a finished body of work before you start sharing. You need to share the process of becoming. The audience finds you not because of…”
