What it does

Automate is an agent skill from agentuse/agentuse. Turn a workflow described or just completed in a coding agent into one focused, validated AgentUse agent. Use for make-this-repeatable, scheduled-workflow, and first-automation handoffs from third-party coding agents.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k 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: 🤖 AI agents on autopilot. Any model. Runs local, cron, CI/CD, or Docker.

When your agent uses it

  • Make-this-repeatable
  • Scheduled-workflow
  • First-automation handoffs from third-party coding agents

Example prompts

  • “/automate”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

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

  1. Run agentuse doctor .
  2. Run a mock test without real side effects. For the default input contract,
  3. Inspect the resulting session.
  4. Correct failures and repeat until the agent validates or a real blocker is

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8e524de. 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:

    • npx

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

  • Network

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

Automate loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,044 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~57
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.9k

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 1,044 words (~1,936 tokens).

“Convert the user's current work into a real AgentUse agent and leave it ready for a supervised first run. Treat the originating conversation and repository state as source context: do not make the user restate a workflow that is already…”
