Project scope by default; add --scope user for a personal install. Needs GitHub CLI 2.90.0 or later (public preview).

Manual copy
$ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/WolframResearch/Chatbook.git skills-src && mkdir -p .claude/skills && cp -r skills-src/Assets/Skills/test-skill .claude/skills/test-skill && rm -rf skills-src

At a glance

Verifies that Chatbook's agent skill support is working. An agent skill from WolframResearch/Chatbook.

  • Works in 3 steps: Tell the user that the test skill was… → Read the file references/verification.md… → If you could not read the reference…
  • Explicitly asks to test skills
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Asks to use the test skill

What it does

Test Skill is an agent skill from WolframResearch/Chatbook. Verifies that Chatbook's agent skill support is working. Use this skill only when the user explicitly asks to test skills, asks to use the test skill, or asks whether skills are working.

Its SKILL.md is about 190 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/verification.md`).

The repository describes itself as: Wolfram Notebooks + LLMs. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Explicitly asks to test skills
  • Asks to use the test skill
  • Asks whether skills are working

Example prompts

  • “Use the test-skill skill to verify that Chatbook's agent skill support is working. An agent skill from WolframResearch/Chatbook”
  • “/test-skill”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Tell the user that the test skill was activated, and give them this activation code exactly as written: MAROON-ORCHID-7214
  2. Read the file references/verification.md from this skill and report the verification code it contains, exactly as written.
  3. If you could not read the reference file, say so instead of guessing a code.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 270f37f. 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.

Context cost

Test Skill loads about 186 tokens when it runs, and up to ~220 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 49 tokens; SKILL.md has 73 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~49
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~186
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~220

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.
