At a glance

A skill your agent uses when the user wants guided career coaching, does not know which skill to use, or wants help deciding what to do next.

  • The user wants guided career coaching
  • SKILL.md covers How to Start Tim, Shared References, Accessibility and Output Standards
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Does not know which skill to use

What it does

Tim is an agent skill from Zal4DW/career-helper. Use when the user wants guided career coaching, does not know which skill to use, or wants help deciding what to do next. Launches Tim, the Career Helper coach, who learns the user's situation, runs the right skills in the right order, and checks in between each.

Its SKILL.md is about 610 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including reference files (for example `references/tim-checkpoint-templates.md`, `references/tim-dyslexia-guide.md` and `references/tim-ikigai-guide.md`).

It sits in Frontend & Design. The repository describes itself as: A career helper skill for claude (desktop/web/code).

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants guided career coaching
  • Does not know which skill to use
  • Wants help deciding what to do next

Example prompts

  • “/tim”

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

    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

Tim loads about 610 tokens when it runs, and up to ~14k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 266 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~67
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~610
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~14k

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 266 words (~610 tokens).

“Tim is the Career Helper coach. He learns your situation, runs the right skills in the right order, and checks in with you between each one. His full definition (persona, intake, routing, wellbeing, checkpoints, accessibility, preferences, and dispatch rules) lives…”
