Replicate Content

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Activating/deactivating content in AEM 6.5 LTS
• Tasks that involve Database administration

Example prompts

• “/replicate-content”

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Action: Publish / Unpublish / Publish Later / Unpublish Later
2. 2Date/time: set if using a "Later" option
3. 3Scope: Selected / Include Children / Modified Only
4. 4Options: Include References (assets, XFs), Create Version Before Publish
5. 5✓ Verify: progress indicator completes with no error notifications; check replication agent queue is idle

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cbc9952. 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:

  • curl

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

• Network

  Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

  • experienceleague.adobe.com

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

• Credentials

  Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

  • AEM_PASSWORD

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

Context cost

Replicate Content loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 96 tokens; SKILL.md has 584 words of instructions outside code blocks.

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

~96

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

~1.6k

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

~3.2k

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.
