What it does

Teleological Interpretation is an agent skill from THUYRan/Legal-Skills-Chinese. Teleological interpretation skill (目的解释). When textual interpretation of a legal provision still cannot yield a determinate conclusion, systematically discover and argue the purpose of the provision, choose the most justified meaning within the range the text can bear, and form an adjudicable interpretive conclusion. Trigger conditions (any one suffices): textual interpretation yields two or more meanings and none can be chosen; the textual conclusion is clearly unreasonable; the provision contains open…

Its SKILL.md is about 4.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Creative writing and fiction.

  • More meanings and none can be chosen
  • The textual conclusion is clearly unreasonable
  • The provision contains open evaluative concepts (e.g.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c31ef1f. 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 (its code samples are yaml).

    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

Teleological Interpretation loads about 4.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 172 tokens; SKILL.md has 474 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~172
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.5k

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.

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.
