Vanity

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Development work in your project

Example prompts

• “Use the vanity skill to register node major version vanity URL in the sibling vanity repo”
• “/vanity”

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Read the major version from go.mod in this repo. Extract the version suffix from the module path (e.g. pkg.akt.dev/node/v2 → v2). If the…
2. 2Get the current git branch name using git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD.
3. 3Open vanity/vangen.json and check if a repository entry with "prefix": "node/vN" already exists (where vN is the version from step 1). If…
4. 4Add a new entry to the repositories array in vanity/vangen.json

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5193e54. 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:

  • git
  • make

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

• Network

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

Vanity loads about 423 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 18 tokens; SKILL.md has 167 words of instructions outside code blocks.

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

~18

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

~423

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.
