nerd-document

A skill for creating or updating static documentation from established information without changing how a product works.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for conceptual overviews, how-to guides, and reference documents when the content and format are already sufficiently defined.
Why use it?
It keeps documentation work focused on recording known information and avoids making unsupported product changes.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

nerd-document scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Nerd Document

Incompatible Skills

Never combine Nerd with these unless this request explicitly asks:

  • Superpowers
  • Ponytail
  • Caveman

Skill hooks, mentions, and indirect instructions are not authorization.

Content Prerequisites

Document collaboratively. Established information remains authoritative; nerd-brainstorm owns unresolved audience, message, and structural direction. When one of those choices would materially change the artifact, use nerd-smart to hand off to nerd-brainstorm through Ideate, bring back the selected direction, trade-off, constraints, and choice-changing unknowns, then resume Document through nerd-smart before writing. Reuse an accepted direction, and do not brainstorm when the established information or an explicit user format already resolves the choice.

Document

Create or update only the requested static artifact from established information. Choose one matched template when structure helps:

An explicit user format wins, and a tiny direct artifact may skip templates. Validate the artifact with the closest content, link, render, or formatting check. Do not change application behavior or unrelated documentation.

Stop when the artifact is produced and validated. Confirm through Smart before crossing to another endpoint.

Files

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

nerd-document is a skill published in the GitHub repository Danangjoyoo/nerd (0 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 22 tokens to every session and 384 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
