description-assist

description-assist is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from event4u-app/agent-config. It costs 44 tokens per session (1,863 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A writing aid for improving the descriptions that tell an agent when to use a skill, rule, or command.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for revising agent-artifact descriptions and auditing descriptions flagged as too short, unclear, or too long.
Why use it?
Weak descriptions may not trigger when they should, so relevant instructions can be missed. It checks trigger coverage and suggests clearer, more direct wording.

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

description-assist 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 7d ago.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 196 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

description-assist

When to use

  • The user says "make this description pushier", "this description is weak", "will this ever fire", "rewrite the description".
  • Called from within the Draft phase of one of the writing skills (skill-writing, rule-writing, command-writing, guideline-writing).
  • Auditing a skill flagged by audit_skill_descriptions.ts as too-short, no-trigger-prefix, or description_too_long in skill_linter.ts.

Do NOT use this skill when:

  • The user wants to change the body, name, or procedure — one field per turn.
  • The content is not an agent artifact (READMEs, docs, commit messages).
  • The user explicitly asked for a fresh description — write it, don't audit.

The contract

  • No silent edits. Every proposed variant is a suggestion presented with numbered options; the user picks before anything is written.
  • No Claude API grading loop. You reason from your context only. No separate AI pass evaluates your suggestions.
  • Max two rounds. Propose → reject → refine → reject → stop. If the second round is rejected, ask one clarifying question and exit.
  • One field per turn. Only description. Trigger phrases, name, and body belong to their own turns.

Procedure

1. Read the current description

Open the target file. Read the description: value in full. If the value is missing, abort and route to the relevant writing skill instead.

2. Inspect the description against four criteria

Normative source: skill-quality § Description Triggering.

Check Pass when…
Length ≤ 200 characters (hard cap; linter errors description_too_long)
Trigger prefix Starts with "Use when …" or equivalent trigger phrasing
Trigger classes Names ≥ 2 of: domain, symptom, user phrasing, tool, file type
Undertrigger tail Ends with "… even if the user doesn't say {name}" or equivalent

Report which checks pass / fail in one compact line — not a long essay.

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.
