agent-readable-docs

agent-readable-docs is a skill for Claude Code from yeaight7/agent-powerups. It costs 45 tokens per session (1,093 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for writing and checking technical documents that both people and AI models can read. It defines HADS, a Markdown convention with marked blocks for facts, notes, bugs, and uncertain information.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps create, convert, validate, and improve HADS documents, including their required title, version, and AI reading instructions.
Why use it?
It makes important facts, known failures, and uncertainty easier to find and interpret consistently.

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

agent-readable-docs 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.

Human-AI Document Standard (HADS)


AI READING INSTRUCTION

This skill teaches the agent how to read, generate, and validate HADS documents. Read all [SPEC] blocks before responding to any HADS-related request. Read [NOTE] blocks if you need context on intent or edge cases.


1. WHAT IS HADS

[SPEC]

  • HADS = Human-AI Document Standard
  • Convention for Markdown technical documentation
  • Four block types: **[SPEC]**, **[NOTE]**, **[BUG]**, **[?]**
  • Every HADS document requires: H1 title, version declaration, AI manifest
  • AI manifest appears before first content section, tells AI what to read/skip
  • File extension: .md — standard Markdown, no tooling required

2. BLOCK TYPES

[SPEC]

**[SPEC]**   Authoritative fact. Terse. Bullet lists, tables, code. AI reads always.
**[NOTE]**   Human context, history, examples. AI may skip.
**[BUG]**    Verified failure + fix. Required fields: symptom, cause, fix. Always read.
**[?]**      Unverified / inferred. Lower confidence. Always flagged.

Block tag rules:

  • Bold, on its own line: **[SPEC]**
  • Content follows immediately (no blank line between tag and content)
  • Multiple blocks of different types allowed per section
  • Titled BUG blocks allowed: **[BUG] Short description**
  • No nesting of blocks inside blocks

3. REQUIRED DOCUMENT STRUCTURE

[SPEC]

# Document Title
**Version X.Y.Z** · Author · Date · [metadata]

---

## AI READING INSTRUCTION

Read `[SPEC]` and `[BUG]` blocks for authoritative facts.
Read `[NOTE]` only if additional context is needed.
`[?]` blocks are unverified — treat with lower confidence.

---

## 1. First Section

**[SPEC]**
...

Required elements in order:

  1. H1 title
  2. Version block in header
  3. AI manifest section before first content section
  4. Content sections (H2), subsections (H3)

4. HOW AI READS HADS

[SPEC] When encountering a HADS document:

  1. Find and read the AI manifest first
  2. Read all [SPEC] blocks — these are ground truth
  3. Read all [BUG] blocks — always, before generating any code or config
  4. Read [NOTE] blocks only if [SPEC] is insufficient to answer the query
  5. Treat [?] content as hypothesis — note uncertainty in response

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.
