What it does
Swig Conventions is an agent skill from swig/swig. SWIG source and contribution conventions: clang-format / code formatting, C/C++ comment style (quotes, widths, function header blocks), parser.y new-code rules, alphabetical ordering of makefile lists, adding or retiring a warning number and checking it is documented, commit message style, hyphenation, CHANGES.current file entries for user visible release notes and AI-assistance disclosure. Read before writing or editing Source/ or Lib/ code, comments, or commit messages.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.7k 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 Commit messages, Technical documentation and Linting and formatting. It works with C++. The repository describes itself as: SWIG is a software development tool that connects programs written in C and C++ with a variety of high-level programming languages.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Commit messages
- Tasks that involve Technical documentation
- Tasks that involve Linting and formatting
Example prompts
- “/swig-conventions”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 068bf9b. 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:
make
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
Swig Conventions loads about 2.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 123 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,395 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 1,395 words (~2,685 tokens).
“Format config: Source/.clang-format (Google style, 160 column limit).”
