At a glance

Process and analyze user-uploaded file references, extract key information, and provide application recommendations.

  • SKILL.md covers Functionality, Usage Scenarios, Supported Reference Formats and Core Capabilities, plus 6 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

File Reference is an agent skill from VanGong1999/screen-creative-skills. Process and analyze user-uploaded file references, extract key information, and provide application recommendations. Suitable for parsing @symbol references, natural language references, and extracting vertical short drama planning information

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/examples.md`). Compatibility notes: Claude Code 1.0+

Example prompts

  • “/file-reference”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Claude Code 1.0+
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read

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

File Reference loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 320 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~65
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.8k

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.

File Reference Parsing Expert

Functionality

Process and analyze user-uploaded file references, extract key information, and provide structured output with application recommendations.

Usage Scenarios

  • Parse local files or URL links referenced by users in conversations
  • Extract core information from files to support agent understanding and utilization of file content
  • Provide file content application recommendations for short drama planning to assist creation
  • Automate processing of various file references to improve workflow efficiency

Supported Reference Formats

@Symbol References
  • @file1 - Document file reference
  • @image1 - Image file reference
  • @pdfDocument - PDF document reference
Natural Language References
  • "First file", "Second file" - Sequential references
  • "Most recently uploaded file" - Time-based references
  • "That image file" - Type-based references

Core Capabilities

  • File Reference Parsing: Accurately identify and parse various file reference formats (@symbols, natural language)
  • Content Extraction: Extract key information and core content from referenced files
  • Structured Output: Present file content in a structured format for easy understanding and utilization
  • Application Recommendations: Provide specific application recommendations for short drama planning based on file content

Input Requirements

  • File Reference: File reference provided by user (e.g., @draft.docx or "the image just uploaded")
  • Analysis Requirements (optional): Specify specific information to extract from the file or analysis focus

Output Format

## File Reference Analysis Report

### Reference Summary
- Reference Type: [@symbol reference/natural language reference]
- File Type: [document/image/PDF/other]
- File Name: [file name]

### File Content Overview
[Briefly describe the main content and core information of the file]

### Key Information Extraction
