What it does

Ned AI Helper is an agent skill from Zal4DW/career-helper. Use when a Non-Executive Director, governor, or trustee needs board-level help with AI, such as evaluating an AI proposal, challenging executive AI strategy, designing governance structures, assessing AI risk, or building board AI literacy. Produces board-ready materials in the "Pragmatic Operator" tone.

Its SKILL.md is about 4.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 21 other files, including reference files (for example `references/ai-glossary.md`, `references/ai-literacy.md` and `references/capabilities-overview.md`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering AI governance. The repository describes itself as: A career helper skill for claude (desktop/web/code).

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c19cefe. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- pandoc
- pip
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pip, 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

Ned AI Helper loads about 4.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~28k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 80 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,742 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~80
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~4.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~28k

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,742 words (~4,178 tokens).
