At a glance

A skill your agent uses when changing package management, workspace config, build scripts, generated outputs, Turborepo/Lerna config, or local validation in aa-sdk.

  • Changing package management
  • SKILL.md covers Rules and Evidence
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Workspace config

What it does

Tooling is an agent skill from alchemyplatform/aa-sdk. Use when changing package management, workspace config, build scripts, generated outputs, Turborepo/Lerna config, or local validation in aa-sdk.

Its SKILL.md is about 370 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files (for example `rules/generated-output-policy.md`, `rules/package-manager-and-build.md` and `rules/tracked-tree-only.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Monorepo tooling. It works with Turborepo and pnpm. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Changing package management
  • Workspace config
  • Generated outputs
  • Turborepo/Lerna config

Example prompts

  • “/tooling”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2d60342. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Tooling loads about 374 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 38 tokens; SKILL.md has 111 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~38
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~374

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.

Tooling

aa-sdk is a pnpm workspace on main (v5 SDK; graduated from v5.x.x) with Turborepo for build/test graphs and Lerna for package versioning/publish. The legacy v4 SDK lives on v4.x.x and only receives backports.

Rules

RuleWhen to read
Package manager and buildBefore changing scripts, dependencies, workspace config, or build commands.
Tracked tree onlyBefore auditing or generating guidance from repository contents.
Generated output policyBefore editing generated outputs or files produced by build/doc scripts.

Evidence

  • package.json declares packageManager: pnpm@9.15.4 and root scripts.
  • pnpm-workspace.yaml lists templates/*, .vitest, halp, and packages/*.
  • turbo.json defines build and test task graph behavior.
  • lerna.json lists the four published packages and the current stable v5 version.
