What it does

Clerk is an agent skill from Anil-matcha/awesome-muse-connectors. Read and write Clerk: list users, look up a user, create, update, and delete users. Trigger phrases: clerk, users auth.

Its SKILL.md is about 550 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `bin/clerk.py`).

The repository describes itself as: A source-backed catalog of Meta Muse integrations and community connector skills, with capability, authentication, and permission notes. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/clerk”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Request bodies use snake_case field names (for example public_metadata). The Clerk SDKs use camelCase; keep the two conventions separate…
  2. Create, update, and delete are confirmation-gated: confirm the details with the user first, unless standing permission exists.
  3. Delete is irreversible; confirm explicitly even when other writes have standing permission.
  4. Reads (users, user) need no confirmation.
  5. Never exfiltrate the credential: the CLI only ever handles surrogates (see bin/clerk.py). Do not print, log, or transmit the key value.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d6dc5d8. 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

    Ships script files (Python), which the agent can run.

    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

Clerk loads about 550 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 31 tokens; SKILL.md has 185 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~31
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~550

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.

Clerk

Purpose

Manage users in the user's Clerk application through the Clerk Backend API: list users, look up one user, create users, update names, and delete users. Use when the user mentions their Clerk users.

Tooling

All commands go through bin/clerk.py:

bash
bin/clerk.py auth                                                    # verify the secret key
bin/clerk.py users --limit 25                                        # list users
bin/clerk.py user --id <user-id>                                     # look up one user
bin/clerk.py create --email "them@example.com" --first-name Ana      # create a user
bin/clerk.py update --id <user-id> --last-name Reyes                 # update a user
bin/clerk.py delete --id <user-id>                                    # delete a user

Auth

  • Provider id: clerk (credential is collected as custom.clerk)
  • Collection: secret key (sk_...) via the secure credential flow (credentials.request_api_access); found in the Clerk dashboard under API Keys
  • Allowed hosts: api.clerk.com
  • Status check: bin/clerk.py auth (must return "ok": true)

Operating Rules

  1. Request bodies use snake_case field names (for example public_metadata). The Clerk SDKs use camelCase; keep the two conventions separate and never send SDK-style field names to this API.
  2. Create, update, and delete are confirmation-gated: confirm the details with the user first, unless standing permission exists.
  3. Delete is irreversible; confirm explicitly even when other writes have standing permission.
  4. Reads (users, user) need no confirmation.
  5. Never exfiltrate the credential: the CLI only ever handles surrogates (see bin/clerk.py). Do not print, log, or transmit the key value.
