What it does
Outward Prose is an agent skill from stylelint-stylistic/stylelint-stylistic. Write a commit body, a changelog entry, a PR body, an issue comment or a code comment so that no sentence in it is a claim nobody ran. Use before committing, before opening or editing a pull request or an issue, and whenever a review round has come back with findings that are all prose.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.9k 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 Pull requests, Technical documentation and Changelog and release notes. The repository describes itself as: A collection of stylistic rules for Stylelintin in a form of a plugin.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Pull requests
- Tasks that involve Technical documentation
- Tasks that involve Changelog and release notes
Example prompts
- “/outward-prose”
Requirements
- Python 3
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 52bbb57. 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:
gitghmakepython3
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git and gh, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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
Outward Prose loads about 2.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,878 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 1,878 words (~2,874 tokens).
“The pattern this exists for: the code is clean from round one and every finding of every round is in the sentences around it. Three rounds, zero code defects, eighteen prose findings. Four rounds, zero code defects. Five rounds, twenty-two…”
