When your agent uses it

Researching affiliate programs
Comparing options
Checking program details

Example prompts

“/affiliate-check”

Requirements

Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read

Workflow steps

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

Tell the user: "affiliate-check needs a one-time build (~10 seconds). OK to proceed?"
If approved, run: cd && ./setup
If bun is not installed: curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e43bfae. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
- Bash
- Read
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 1 file in scripts/, which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- curl
- bash
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:
- bun.sh
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

Affiliate Check loads about 808 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 81 tokens; SKILL.md has 147 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~81
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~808

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SETUP (run this check BEFORE any affiliate-check command)

Before using any command, find the skill and check if the binary exists:

bash

# Check project-level first, then user-level
if test -x .claude/skills/affiliate-skills/tools/dist/affiliate-check; then
  A=.claude/skills/affiliate-skills/tools/dist/affiliate-check
elif test -x ~/.claude/skills/affiliate-skills/tools/dist/affiliate-check; then
  A=~/.claude/skills/affiliate-skills/tools/dist/affiliate-check
else
  echo "NEEDS_SETUP"
fi

Set A to whichever path exists and use it for all commands.

If NEEDS_SETUP:

Tell the user: "affiliate-check needs a one-time build (~10 seconds). OK to proceed?"
If approved, run: cd <SKILL_DIR> && ./setup
If bun is not installed: curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash
