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.
