At a glance

Guide new users through macrodata setup. An agent skill from ascorbic/macrodata.

  • Works in 9 steps: Prerequisites → User Info → Location → …
  • Getcontext returns isFirstRun true
  • SKILL.md covers When to Use, Guidelines, Onboarding Flow and Session History Analysis, plus 1 more section
  • Calls jq, curl and bash; reaches bun.sh

What it does

Onboarding is an agent skill from ascorbic/macrodata. Guide new users through macrodata setup. Creates identity, human profile, and workspace files. Use when getcontext returns isFirstRun true, or user asks to set up their profile.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Give Claude Code and OpenCode persistent, self-refining memory and autonomous scheduling.

When your agent uses it

  • Getcontext returns isFirstRun true
  • User asks to set up their profile

Example prompts

  • “/onboarding”

Workflow steps

9 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Prerequisites
  2. User Info
  3. Location
  4. Human Profile
  5. Agent Identity
  6. Initial Workspace
  7. Permissions
  8. Scheduled Reminders
  9. Finalize

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f07def3. 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:

    • jq
    • curl
    • bash
    • bun

    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:

    • bun.sh

    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

Onboarding loads about 2.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 47 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,084 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~47
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.9k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePipes a well-known installer script into a shellSKILL.md:36
    curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash

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 1,084 words (~2,879 tokens).

“Guide new users through initial macrodata setup.”
