When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve CI/CD
Example prompts
- “/claude-code-headless”
Requirements
- Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Claude Code CLI
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4ac52da. 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:
BashRead
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
claudejq
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):
code.claude.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.
Compatibility
Claude Code CLI
From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Context cost
Claude Code Headless loads about 829 tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 140 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

allowed-tools: Bash, Read
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
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 140 words (~829 tokens).
