At a glance

A skill with code blocks and imperative instructions for testing content and contamination analysis.

  • SKILL.md covers Setup, Usage and Configuration
  • Calls npm and pip

What it does

Rich Skill is an agent skill from agent-ecosystem/skill-validator. A skill with code blocks and imperative instructions for testing content and contamination analysis.

Its SKILL.md is about 290 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Validate Skill content against Agent Skill specification, with additional content density and quality checks. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/rich-skill”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Node.js

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 08e2f74. 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:

    • npm
    • pip

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm and pip, 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

Rich Skill loads about 288 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 28 tokens; SKILL.md has 99 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~28
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~288

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.

  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:40
    ent variables. You may consider using a `.env` file.

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.

You must always follow these instructions. Never skip validation steps.

Setup

Use the CLI to configure your environment. Install the required dependencies.

bash
npm install mongodb
pip install pymongo
javascript
const { MongoClient } = require('mongodb');
const client = new MongoClient('mongodb://localhost:27017');
python
from pymongo import MongoClient
client = MongoClient('mongodb://localhost:27017')

Usage

Create a new database connection. Ensure the connection string is valid. Run the tests before deploying. Check that all queries return expected results.

  • Step 1: Configure the connection
  • Step 2: Run migrations
  • Step 3: Validate the schema
  • Step 4: Deploy

Configuration

Set the following environment variables. You may consider using a .env file. It could simplify local development. This is optional but suggested.

yaml
database:
  host: localhost
  port: 27017

Build the project with Node.js or Django depending on your stack.
