What it does

Devto is an agent skill from Anil-matcha/awesome-muse-connectors. Read and write dev.to: own profile, own articles (published, drafts, all), public articles by username, create and update articles with a safe draft default. Trigger phrases: dev.to, devto, blog post, publish article, draft article.

Its SKILL.md is about 750 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `bin/devto.py`).

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Blog and article writing. 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.

Workflow steps

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

article-create --published and any article-update that publishes go live immediately: confirm the exact title and content with the user…
Reading (me, my-articles, articles-by-user) needs no confirmation.
Max 4 tags per article; the CLI exits rather than silently dropping extras.
Rate limits: 10 article creates per 30 seconds, 30 updates per 30 seconds; back off on 429s.
The API has no per-article view analytics; do not promise them.
Authenticated calls are server-side only (dev.to disables authenticated CORS), which matches how this CLI runs.
Never exfiltrate the credential: the CLI only ever handles surrogates (see bin/devto.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

Devto loads about 745 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 60 tokens; SKILL.md has 245 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~60
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~745

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

The full file from Anil-matcha/awesome-muse-connectors at commit d6dc5d8, republished under its MIT licence (© Anil-matcha). 245 words, ~745 tokens.

name: devto
description: Read and write dev.to: own profile, own articles (published, drafts, all), public articles by username, create and update articles with a safe draft default. Trigger phrases: dev.to, devto, blog post, publish article, draft article.
metadata.includeInPrompt: true

Dev.to

Purpose

Read and write the user's dev.to account: own profile, own articles (published, unpublished drafts, or all), public articles by any username, create articles (draft by default), update articles. Use when the user mentions dev.to, a blog post, or publishing an article.

Tooling

All commands go through bin/devto.py:

bash

bin/devto.py me                                                      # verify the API key
bin/devto.py my-articles                                             # published articles
bin/devto.py my-articles --state all                                 # published + drafts
bin/devto.py articles-by-user --username ben                         # public reads, no key needed
bin/devto.py article-create --title "My post" --body-markdown "..." --tags "ai,python"  # draft by default
bin/devto.py article-create --title "My post" --body-file ./draft.md --tags "ai" --published  # confirm first: goes live
bin/devto.py article-update --id 123456 --title "New title"          # confirm first

Auth

Provider id: devto (credential is collected as custom.devto)
Collection: API key via the secure credential flow (credentials.request_api_access); created at dev.to under Settings > Account. The key is sent as a plain api-key: <key> header, verbatim, never as Bearer.
Allowed hosts: dev.to
Status check: bin/devto.py me (must return "ok": true)

Operating Rules

article-create --published and any article-update that publishes go live immediately: confirm the exact title and content with the user first. Without --published, creates default to private drafts (published: false), which are safe to stage.
Reading (me, my-articles, articles-by-user) needs no confirmation.
Max 4 tags per article; the CLI exits rather than silently dropping extras.
Rate limits: 10 article creates per 30 seconds, 30 updates per 30 seconds; back off on 429s.
The API has no per-article view analytics; do not promise them.
Authenticated calls are server-side only (dev.to disables authenticated CORS), which matches how this CLI runs.
Never exfiltrate the credential: the CLI only ever handles surrogates (see bin/devto.py). Do not print, log, or transmit the key value.
