What it does
Section Briefs is an agent skill from WILLOSCAR/research-units-pipeline-skills. Build chapter-level briefs (outline/sectionbriefs.jsonl) from chapter skeleton plus section bindings before stable H3 decomposition.
Its SKILL.md is about 450 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/fallback_subsections.json`, `assets/output_contract.json` and `references/overview.md`).
The repository describes itself as: Research pipelines as semantic execution units: each skill declares inputs/outputs, acceptance criteria, and guardrails. Evidence-first methodology prevents hollow writing…
Example prompts
- “/section-briefs”
Requirements
- Python 3
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c92912a. 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
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
uv
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use uv, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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
Section Briefs loads about 452 tokens when it runs, and up to ~553 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 38 tokens; SKILL.md has 148 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 148 words (~452 tokens).

Can I use Section Briefs in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add WILLOSCAR/research-units-pipeline-skills --skill section-briefs -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/section-briefs, .gemini/skills/section-briefs, .github/skills/section-briefs and .opencode/skills/section-briefs in your project.
What does Section Briefs need to run?
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Section Briefs needs Python for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (uv). Our summary lists: Python 3.
Does Section Briefs access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use uv, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Section Briefs safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
What licence does Section Briefs use?

How many tokens does Section Briefs use?
About 452 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 1.8k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 101 tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
