Smartcar

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Phrases: smartcar

Example prompts

• “/smartcar”

Requirements

• Python 3

Workflow steps

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

1. 1HIGH: security LOCK/UNLOCK changes physical access to the car. The CLI requires --confirm naming the exact effect on every call. No…
2. 2MEDIUM: charge START/STOP, charge-limit, and charge-schedules move a physical charge relay or change charging behavior. They need…
3. 3Per-brand capability differences are real: not every make supports every command (an ICE car has no charge endpoints; some brands lack…
4. 4Keep telemetry polling modest; location and odometer reads are the ones users ask to repeat.
5. 5Never exfiltrate the credential: the CLI only ever handles surrogates. Do not print, log, or transmit the token 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

  Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

  • api.smartcar.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

Smartcar loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 56 tokens; SKILL.md has 444 words of instructions outside code blocks.

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

~56

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

~1.3k

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.
