What it does
Skillhone is an agent skill from Tencent/SkillHone. Local Issue, pull-request, and Wiki workbench for agent skills. Use when a user asks what skill problems, Issues, PRs, repair trajectories, work records, completed optimizations, pending fixes, or pending synchronization exist; when an Agent needs to report a reproducible skill defect; or when the user wants to initialize, inspect, optimize, review, merge, or synchronize a local skill repair. If a managed Skill has a missing referenced file, failing test, or broken command, invoke skillhone-auto-optimization…
Its SKILL.md is about 3.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `references/cli.md`, `references/upstream.md` and `scripts/quality/static_check.py`).
It sits in Development, covering Failing and flaky tests, Git workflow and Pull requests. It works with Git, DeepSeek and SQLite. The repository describes itself as: Continual agent skill evolution through persistent decision history. Whole-skill optimisation (SKILL.md + scripts + references) with every decision landing as a local Git issue /…
When your agent uses it
- A user asks what skill problems
- Repair trajectories
- Completed optimizations
- Pending synchronization exist
Example prompts
- “/skillhone”
Requirements
- Python 3
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c613aa9. 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
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
npm
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, 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
Skillhone loads about 3.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~6.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 172 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,545 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); the scripts in this folder 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 1,545 words (~3,369 tokens).
“Use SkillHone as the local maintenance layer for Agent-skill repositories. One Skill always maps to one Git repository and therefore owns an isolated set of Issue numbers, PR numbers, Wiki records, branches, tests, and repair Runs. The Catalog indexes those…”
