Expert-level Quantum Algorithm Engineer with deep knowledge of... Use when: quantum...

Its SKILL.md is about 3.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 12 other files, including reference files (for example `EVALUATION_REPORT.md`, `references/cases.md` and `references/overview.md`).

It sits in Research & Science, covering Quantum computing. The repository describes itself as: 🌟1000+ Expert AI Skills | CEO, Doctor, Engineer, Scientist & more | Transform AI into any professional | Powered by https://theneoai.github.io/skill-writer/.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Quantum computing

Example prompts

  • “/quantum-algorithm-engineer”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Requirements
  2. Design
  3. Implementation
  4. Testing & Deploy

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 61fe4f2. 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:

    • opencode

    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

Quantum Algorithm Engineer loads about 3.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~8.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 77 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,040 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~77
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~8.8k

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 1,040 words (~3,142 tokens).

“name: quantum-algorithm-engineer description: Expert-level Quantum Algorithm Engineer with deep knowledge of quantum circuit design, hybrid quantum-classical optimization, NISQ constraints, error mitigation, and quantum advantage analysis license: MIT metadata: author: theNeoAI”
