About this skill

TimescaleDB Reference is a skill in 2025Emma/vibe-coding-cn (23k stars). Its SKILL.md is about 750 tokens, with 14 other files in the folder (references), and copies of it appear in 1 other owners' repositories. Licence: MIT.

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Re-run the scraper with the same configuration
  2. The skill will be rebuilt with the latest information

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9b42dd1. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • kubectl
    • rails

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use kubectl, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

TimescaleDB Reference loads about 750 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.5M if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 45 tokens; SKILL.md has 290 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~45
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~750
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.5M

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

What does TimescaleDB Reference need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, TimescaleDB Reference needs the command-line tools its instructions call (kubectl and rails).

Does TimescaleDB Reference access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is TimescaleDB Reference safe to install?
