When your agent uses it
- Auditing metadata
- Structured data
- Indexability related to Display clear author bylines
Example prompts
- “/author-byline”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e8d14d0. 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
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
frontendchecklist.io
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
Author Byline loads about 409 tokens when it runs, and up to ~962 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 170 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.

Fix
Add an author section to the article header that includes the author's name, role, and a link to their profile.
Explain
Explain why author transparency is a key factor in Google's Quality Rater Guidelines and how it affects trust.
