What it does

Provider Setup is an agent skill from athola/claude-night-market. Reports which delegation CLIs are installed and authenticated, installs missing ones, and stores the result. Use before delegating or when a provider errors.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: 23 Claude Code plugins: TDD enforcement hooks, git/PR workflows, spec-driven development, code review, project lifecycle, fix-from-error, maintenance automation, context… The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “Use the provider-setup skill to report which delegation CLIs are installed and authenticated, installs missing ones, and stores the result”
  • “/provider-setup”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9f3eb00. 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:

    • python3

    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

Provider Setup loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 594 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~43
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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.

Provider Setup

Intent

An operator should be able to ask what this machine can delegate to, get a truthful answer, install what is missing, and have that answer remembered. Before this skill existed, an unconfigured provider surfaced only as a failed delegation, and every call re-derived the same facts by spawning up to sixteen subprocesses.

When To Use

  • Before the first delegation on a new machine
  • When a provider errors out and it is unclear whether the cause is the binary, the credential, or the model
  • When deciding which provider to name in a delegation request

When NOT To Use

  • Choosing between two providers that are both ready (Skill(conjure:delegation-core) routes)
  • Debugging a provider's output rather than its availability

What it reports

scripts/delegation_setup.py probes each registered service and prints a table: binary, version, installed, authenticated, and the fix for each unhealthy row.

bash
python3 scripts/delegation_setup.py --status
python3 scripts/delegation_setup.py --doctor
python3 scripts/delegation_setup.py --available

--available is the short answer: the providers confirmed ready to take work right now.

Installing

Installs come from the provenance map in delegation_executor, which is the only source of install commands. A binary with no recorded provenance raises instead of falling back to a guess, because #655 shipped a service naming a binary that an unaffiliated package publishes.

bash
python3 scripts/delegation_setup.py --install gemini
python3 scripts/delegation_setup.py --all

Every install asks first. Declining is a recorded outcome, not a failure, so --all on a machine where two of eight CLIs are wanted still exits 0.

What is remembered, and what is not

plugins/conjure/scripts/provider_ledger.py writes ~/.claude/hooks/delegation/provider-state.json. What it stores is asymmetric on purpose:

FactCachedWhy
Installed, versionYes, under a 6-hour TTLCheap to re-derive, stable between runs
Confirmed credentialAs a timestamp, never a booleanA token expires without touching the binary
A recorded failureClears the confirmation immediatelyA stale success must not outlive the credential

A provider whose credentials live inside its CLI reports auth_checked: false, and that never becomes a confirmation. "We did not look" and "it works" are different claims, and the table keeps them apart.

The file is a cache. A truncated or unreadable ledger loads as empty and costs one round of probes.

Show full SKILL.md (253 more words)Show less

What this does not change

Routing still probes live. Delegator.verify_service spawns the version and auth probes on the delegation path as it always did, and the ledger does not short-circuit it.

That is a deliberate boundary, not an unfinished edge. Reading a cached success into the router would send work to a provider whose token expired since the probe, and reading a cached failure into the router would disable a provider for the rest of the TTL after one transient error. The ledger answers an operator's question, "what is set up on this machine", where a six-hour-old answer is useful and a wrong one costs a re-run. The router answers "can this call succeed now", where a wrong answer costs the call.

Wiring the ledger into verify_service needs a failure taxonomy that separates a transient refusal from a revoked credential. That does not exist yet.

Exit Criteria

  • python3 scripts/delegation_setup.py --status prints one row per registered service with its installed and authenticated state
  • --available names only providers that are installed, carry a confirmed credential, are inside the TTL, and have no recorded failure
  • ~/.claude/hooks/delegation/provider-state.json exists after a probe and parses as JSON with "version": 1
  • An install request for a binary with no provenance entry raises UnverifiedBinaryError instead of running a guessed command
  • A recorded failure clears any standing auth_confirmed_at, so a provider that starts refusing work leaves --available
  • A corrupt ledger file loads as empty rather than raising
  • Skill(conjure:delegation-core): the routing this setup feeds
  • Skill(leyline:service-registry): health checks for external services generally

Can I use Provider Setup in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add athola/claude-night-market --skill provider-setup -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/provider-setup, .gemini/skills/provider-setup, .github/skills/provider-setup and .opencode/skills/provider-setup in your project.

What does Provider Setup need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Provider Setup needs the command-line tools its instructions call (python3). Our summary lists: Python 3.

Does Provider Setup access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Provider Setup safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Provider Setup use?

Provider Setup is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Provider Setup use?

About 1.2k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 4.7k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Provider Setup?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Provider Setup: Agent Authentication (ruvnet/ruflo, 74k stars), Delegate Setup (sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, 47k stars), Authentication (BuilderIO/agent-native, 7.1k stars) and Generating Python Installer (affaan-m/ECC, 275k stars).
