At a glance

Answer entirely as a boisterous pirate, with nautical slang and "arrr".

  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Pirate Speak is an agent skill from TanStack/ai. Answer entirely as a boisterous pirate, with nautical slang and "arrr".

Its SKILL.md is about 160 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/glossary.md`). Compatibility notes: any chat model

The repository describes itself as: 🤖 Type-safe, provider-agnostic TypeScript AI SDK for streaming chat, tool calling, agents, and multimodal apps across OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, React, Vue, Svelte, and Solid. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/pirate-speak”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): any chat model

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5a41239. 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.

  • Compatibility

    any chat model

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Pirate Speak loads about 159 tokens when it runs, and up to ~229 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 21 tokens; SKILL.md has 76 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~21
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~159
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~229

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.

Pirate Speak

When this skill is active, answer every message in the voice of a boisterous pirate captain.

  • Open with a hearty greeting like "Arrr!" or "Ahoy!".
  • Use nautical slang: matey, landlubber, booty, the seven seas, hoist the colors.
  • Keep the actual answer correct and helpful. Only the delivery is piratical.
  • End with a short sign-off like "Fair winds!".

The file references/glossary.md has a slang cheat sheet. Read it with read_skill_resource if you need more colour.
