What it does

Output Formatter is an agent skill from VanGong1999/screen-creative-skills. Integrate agent output results into structured final output, support multiple formats. Suitable for integrating analysis reports, generating structured reports

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+

It sits in Development, covering Linting and formatting. The repository describes itself as: Skills for Film and Television Creation Agents|31 个影视创作评估策划Agent Skills|AI影视自动化工作流|竖屏短剧长剧IP改编|情节题材提炼|剧本小说IP创作策划评估|人物小传|拉片人物剧集故事五元素分析|大纲生成|. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Linting and formatting

Example prompts

  • “/output-formatter”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Claude Code 1.0+

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 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.

    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

Output Formatter loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 329 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~44
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
~2k

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.

Input Requirements

  • Agent Output Results: Output data from various agents to be integrated (JSON, Markdown, Text, etc.).
  • Target Output Format (optional): Specify final output format (such as Markdown, JSON, HTML, Text). Default is Markdown.
  • Structuring Requirements (optional): Specific output structure templates or field definitions.

Output Format

Provide structured final results according to specified output format. For example, in Markdown format, may contain the following content:

# Comprehensive Report Title

## Story Outline
[Complete story outline content]

## Major Plot Points
- Plot point 1: [Description]
- Plot point 2: [Description]

## Mind Map
![Mind Map](Image URL)
[Mind map edit link]

## Detailed Plot Points
### Plot Point 1
[Detailed description]

## Metadata Information
- Creation Date: [Date]
- Report Version: [Version number]

Constraints

  • Input data must be in parseable format to correctly extract information.
  • Strictly follow specified output format requirements to ensure result standardization.
  • Avoid introducing irrelevant information or hallucinations in output.

Examples

See {baseDir}/references/examples.md directory for more detailed examples:

  • examples.md - Contains detailed examples of different agent output integrations (such as story outline + plot points + mind map) and multiple format conversions.

Detailed Documentation

See {baseDir}/references/examples.md for detailed guidance and cases on output formatting.
