What it does

Reload MCP is an agent skill from antonbabenko/deliberation. Gracefully cycle dashboard and audit MCP processes after deliberation is updated.

Its SKILL.md is about 210 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering MCP servers. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Ask Codex, Gemini, Grok, and 400+ OpenRouter models (Qwen, Kimi, DeepSeek) for second opinions or arbiter-mediated consensus. One MCP server for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Kiro… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve MCP servers

Example prompts

  • “/reload-mcp”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e4e9b97. 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:

    • bash

    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

Reload MCP loads about 211 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 23 tokens; SKILL.md has 74 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~23
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~211

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.

Reload Deliberation MCP

Use this skill when Deliberation has been updated to cycle running background services and verify MCP worker states.

Instructions

Run the reload script to audit running processes and gracefully restart the dashboard daemon on the latest code:

bash
bash scripts/commands/reload-mcp.sh
  • Safely preserves connected host stdio pipes.
  • Automatically detects and cleans up orphaned worker processes.
  • Restarts the background dashboard daemon with the active configuration.
  • New sessions or subagent turns will automatically run the updated server.
