Word Count Checker
Overview
This skill enables automatic word count checking when word count is mentioned in relation to a document. Instead of requiring explicit requests, trigger this skill whenever the user references word count alongside a document.
When to Use This Skill
Trigger this skill whenever the user mentions word count in relation to a document, including phrases like:
- "Check the word count of [filename]"
- "What's the word count of [filename]"
- "Stop when the word count is [number]"
- "Keep the word count under [number]"
- "How many words are in [filename]"
- Any similar reference to word count with a document
How to Use
When word count is mentioned with a document reference:
-
Identify the target file from the user's message (e.g.,
article.md,chapter1.md) -
Run the word count command using Bash:
wc -w <filename> -
Interpret the context:
- Checking: If the user asks to check word count, report the current count
- Monitoring: If the user mentions a target word count (e.g., "stop when word count is 4500"), compare the current count to the target and inform the user whether the goal has been met
- Writing: If generating or editing content with a word count constraint, check periodically and adjust as needed
-
Report clearly: Present the word count information in a natural, contextual way based on the user's request
Examples
User: "Check the word count of article.md"
Action: Run wc -w article.md and report: "article.md has 3,245 words."
User: "Keep writing chapter1.md until it reaches 5000 words"
Action: Periodically run wc -w chapter1.md while writing, and stop when the count reaches or exceeds 5000 words.
User: "What's the word count of my draft.md?"
Action: Run wc -w draft.md and report the count naturally in response.
