What it does
Talk is an agent skill from srid/emanote. Enter talk mode — conversation and research, no repo changes. ONLY invoke when the user explicitly types /talk or $talk; never auto-select from a natural-language question or design discussion.
Its SKILL.md is about 4.4k 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. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: Emanate a structured view of your plain-text notes.
When your agent uses it
- Explicitly types /talk
- Never auto-select from a natural-language question
- Design discussion
Example prompts
- “/talk”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9d01037. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
git
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):
github.com
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
Talk loads about 4.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 51 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,650 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 2,650 words (~4,409 tokens).
“You are now in talk mode. Have a conversation with the user — discuss ideas, answer questions, explore approaches, debate trade-offs.”
