What it does

Add Config Attribute is an agent skill from 389ds/389-ds-base. Add, rename, or wire a server config attribute end to end - a core cn=config attribute (the slap.h/libglobs.c chain) or a plugin config-entry attribute - including the schema line, defaults, upgrade migration for renames, tests, and the CLI/UI exposure decision. Use for a new nsslapd- setting, config knob, tunable, or plugin setting. The core chain is seven coordinated edits; a missed edit (especially the ConfigList row) makes the attribute silently invisible - reads return nothing and writes are ignored or…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `references/core-config-chain.md`, `references/new-plugin.md` and `references/plugin-config.md`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Hooks and plugins. The repository describes itself as: The enterprise-class Open Source LDAP server for Linux.

When your agent uses it

  • A new nsslapd- setting
  • Tasks that involve Hooks and plugins

Example prompts

  • “/add-config-attribute”

Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Pick the branch
  2. Core chain: seven edits, all under ldap/servers/slapd/
  3. Verify the core chain
  4. Schema line
  5. CLI / UI exposure ruling
  6. Plugin branch: define and parse
  7. Renaming or replacing an existing plugin attribute
  8. Tests

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 216e502. 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:

    • git

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, 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

Add Config Attribute loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 142 tokens; SKILL.md has 767 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~142
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4.5k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 767 words (~1,669 tokens).

“Config attributes live in two different systems with unrelated edit chains: core cn=config attributes are rows in a static C table in libglobs.c; plugin attributes are plain LDAP attributes on the plugin's own config entry. Pick the branch first.”
