What it does
Swig Doc is an agent skill from swig/swig. Author and edit chapters of the SWIG Users Manual under Doc/Manual: chapter conventions, manual heading anchors, the four content <div styles (code / targetlang / shell / diagram), how to show a warning or error message, the auto generated section TOC, the make targets that renumber headings and validate HTML, the warning list in Warnings.html and how to check it against the warning numbers in the source, and the rules for cross document anchored links.
Its SKILL.md is about 3.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
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.
Example prompts
- “/swig-doc”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Numbers – from the chapter's position in chapters (e.g. 10.2.1 ...).
- Adds an anchor inside each heading only if one is not already present.
- Rewrites the <!-- INDEX -->...<!-- INDEX --> block at the top of the chapter as a table of contents.
- Backs up the original to *.bak (delete with make clean-baks before committing).
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:
makegitjavacjava
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, 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
Swig Doc loads about 3.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 118 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,611 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 1,611 words (~3,490 tokens).
“The reference manual is hand written HTML4 Transitional. There is no Markdown / Sphinx / Doxygen layer for the user manual — edit the .html files directly.”
- name
- swig-doc
- argument-hint
- Optionally specify the chapter file (e.g. CPlusPlus20.html) to edit
