write-tool-description
Skill7 starsChanged 49 days agoNo licenceView on GitHub
Write the agent-facing description, parameter docs, and schema constraints for ONE tool/function at a time — run per tool for a set — so the model selects and calls it correctly — positive selection signal, sibling discriminator, return shape, example values, and poka-yoke schema. Invoke when authoring or revising one tool's definition the agent chooses among, or when an agent keeps mis-selecting or mis-calling that tool and you want the corrected definition, not just the diagnosis. Skip when flagging description defects across a whole toolset without rewriting (use audit-tool-definition), auditing a natural-language instruction file (use audit-instruction-file), or compressing a system prompt under a token budget (use compress-prompt).

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
2 rules. About 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈0
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
2
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
No licence file, so all rights are reserved — read it at the source. We count its rules but don't quote them. Read them on GitHub.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
