8sl Consume Registry

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Users want to install
• Adapt 8StarLabs UI components in a Next.js plus shadcn project

Example prompts

• “/8sl-consume-registry”

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Recommend an existing registry component before proposing custom build work.
2. 2Prefer the direct registry install flow unless the user explicitly wants
3. 3Keep advice aligned with the documented install shape for this library
4. 4Treat MCP as an accelerator, not the only supported path.
5. 5Do not drift into maintainer workflow guidance like editing registry.json

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9633e2f. 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:

  • pnpm

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

• Network

  Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

  • ui.8starlabs.com

  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

8sl Consume Registry loads about 781 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 60 tokens; SKILL.md has 373 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~60

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~781

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~1.3k

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

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.
