Workflow steps

1. 1Identify Characters: Identify all main characters in the story.
2. 2Analyze Relationships: Analyze relationship types and characteristics between characters.
3. 3Classify and Organize: Classify and organize character relationships.
4. 4Describe Characteristics: Describe specific characteristics of character relationships.
5. 5Analyze Changes: Analyze the development process and changes of character relationships.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6ced54f. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

  • Read

  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

  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.

• Compatibility

  Claude Code 1.0+

  From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Character Relationships loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 72 tokens; SKILL.md has 275 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~72

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.3k

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~3.9k

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

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.
