What it does

New Command Docs is an agent skill from tractorjuice/arc-kit. This skill should be used when a new ArcKit command has been added and documentation needs updating across the repository. Triggers: update documentation for new command, update command count, add command to README, update DEPENDENCY-MATRIX, update docs/index.html, new command documentation checklist, update all docs for new command, add command to dependency matrix, update command tables, sync documentation after adding command, I added a new command what do I update, post-command documentation, new slash…

Its SKILL.md is about 2.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `references/dependency-matrix-format.md`, `references/file-locations.md` and `references/html-patterns.md`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Hooks and plugins and Technical documentation. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: The Enterprise Architecture Governance Harness — strategy, architecture, delivery, and assurance using AI coding assistants.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Hooks and plugins
  • Tasks that involve Technical documentation

Example prompts

  • “/new-command-docs”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. README.md (root)
  2. docs/index.html
  3. plugins/arckit-claude/.claude-plugin/plugin.json
  4. .claude-plugin/marketplace.json (root)
  5. plugins/arckit-claude/README.md
  6. docs/DEPENDENCY-MATRIX.md
  7. docs/WORKFLOW-DIAGRAMS.md
  8. docs/README.md
  9. CLAUDE.md
  10. CHANGELOG.md (root - CLI changelog)
  11. plugins/arckit-claude/CHANGELOG.md (plugin changelog)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9c9a803. 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:

    • python

    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

New Command Docs loads about 2.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~7.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 136 tokens; SKILL.md has 897 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~136
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~7.5k

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.

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 897 words (~2,349 tokens).

“When a new ArcKit command is added, 11 files across the repository must be updated to reflect the new command. This skill provides the complete checklist and exact patterns for each update.”
