It sits in Writing & Content, covering Brand voice and tone, LaTeX and Proposals and quotes. The repository describes itself as: 21 writing rules for AI coding and writing agents. Drop-in for Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, Cursor, and Aider, so their output reads like a tech pro.
When your agent uses it
- Editing prose in .md
- Especially research papers
Example prompts
- “/agent-style”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8a9303d. 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
Agent Style loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 53 tokens; SKILL.md has 574 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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 574 words (~1,169 tokens).
“agent-style is a literature-backed English technical-prose writing ruleset for AI agents. This adapter is an Anthropic Skill at .claude/skills/agent-style/SKILL.md. Frontmatter metadata is scanned eagerly by Claude Code; the body below loads progressively when the skill is invoked for a relevant…”
