What it does

Aptos Explorer Search is an agent skill from aptos-labs/explorer. Use the Aptos Explorer home-page search URL at explorer.aptoslabs.com/?search={query} to look up any Aptos-chain identifier whose type you do not know (address, transaction hash/version, ANS .apt name, coin or fungible asset type, block height). Use when a user pastes an opaque on-chain string, asks "what is this?", or you want the explorer to auto-detect and route to the correct entity page.

Its SKILL.md is about 530 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 Backend & APIs, covering Smart contracts. The repository describes itself as: The explorer of the Aptos blockchain.

When your agent uses it

  • A user pastes an opaque on-chain string
  • Asks what is this?
  • You want the explorer to auto-detect and route to the correct entity page

Example prompts

  • “what is this?”
  • “/aptos-explorer-search”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d181f96. 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

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

    • explorer.aptoslabs.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

Aptos Explorer Search loads about 533 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 104 tokens; SKILL.md has 221 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~104
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~533

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 221 words (~533 tokens).

“The explorer's home page accepts a search query parameter that auto-detects entity type and shows matching results inline, grouped by type (accounts, transactions, blocks, coins, fungible assets, ANS names).”
