What it does

Clonedeps is an agent skill from akitaonrails/my-skills. Clone important project dependency source code into an ignored local workspace so OpenCode can inspect library internals. Use when the user asks to clone dependencies, inspect dependency/source internals, understand SDK/framework behavior from source, debug library implementation details, or make core dependency repos locally readable. Do not use for ordinary API/docs questions where @librarian is enough.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `README.md` and `codemap.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Technical documentation. The repository describes itself as: akitaonrails' personal skills (not tailored for general usage).

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to clone dependencies
  • Inspect dependency/source internals
  • Understand SDK/framework behavior from source
  • Debug library implementation details

Example prompts

  • “/clonedeps”

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Check Existing State
  2. Ask Librarian for the Clone Plan
  3. Verify and Confirm the Plan
  4. Clone Sources Manually
  5. Write Local State
  6. Update Ignore Files
  7. Register Dependency Source in AGENTS.md

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5763b9e. 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

    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:

    • github.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.

Context cost

Clonedeps loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 105 tokens; SKILL.md has 760 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~105
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.1k

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 760 words (~2,121 tokens).

“You help users make a small set of important dependency source repositories locally readable to OpenCode.”
