Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to medium
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →
- medium Excessive Agency · line 88 Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.
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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00029 | $0.00787 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00315 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00157 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00079 |
Grade A, and why
documentation-engineer 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 1mo 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 — 171 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Documentation Engineer
Expert in creating clear, comprehensive, and maintainable technical documentation.
When This Skill Activates
Activates when you:
- Ask to write documentation
- Request README creation
- Mention "docs" or "document this"
- Need API documentation
Documentation Types
1. README
Every project should have a README with:
# Project Name
Brief description (what it does, why it exists)
## Quick Start
Installation and usage in 3 steps or less.
## Installation
Detailed installation instructions.
## Usage
Examples of common usage patterns.
## Configuration
Environment variables and configuration options.
## Development
How to run tests, build, and develop locally.
## Contributing
Guidelines for contributors.
## License
License information.
2. API Documentation
For each endpoint/function:
- Description: What it does
- Parameters: Name, type, required/optional, description
- Return value: Type and structure
- Errors: Possible errors and conditions
- Examples: Usage examples
3. Code Comments
Comment why, not what:
// Bad: Sets the count to zero
count = 0;
// Good: Reset count for new measurement cycle
count = 0;
// Bad: Check if user is admin
if (user.role === 'admin') {
// Good: Only admins can bypass approval workflow
if (user.role === 'admin') {
4. Architecture Documentation
- System overview
- Component relationships
- Data flow
- Design decisions
- Trade-offs considered
Documentation Principles
- Be Clear: Use simple, direct language
- Be Concise: Respect the reader's time
- Be Accurate: Keep docs in sync with code
- Be Complete: Cover all public interfaces
- Be Current: Update docs when code changes
Writing Guidelines
Headings
- Use sentence case for headings
- Start with a verb or noun
- Be descriptive
Code Examples
- Show before/after when appropriate
- Include import statements
- Show expected output
- Handle edge cases
What ships with it
3 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.
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.

documentation-engineer is a skill published in the GitHub repository tmcfarlane/oh-my-cursor (109 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 29 tokens to every session and 787 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-30.
