What it does

Add Config Env Var is an agent skill from baserow/baserow. Add a Baserow configuration environment variable for the backend, frontend, or both, and propagate it through settings, Nuxt runtime config, Docker Compose, documentation, consumers, and tests as applicable. Use when adding or reviewing any env-backed configuration value, including requests that reference INTEGRATIONLOCALBASEROWPAGESIZELIMIT as a pattern.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Containers and Secrets management. It works with Nuxt, Docker and Airtable. The repository describes itself as: Build databases, automations, apps & agents with AI — no code. Open source platform available on cloud and self-hosted. GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2 compliant. Best Airtable alternative.

When your agent uses it

  • Reviewing any env-backed configuration value
  • Including requests that reference INTEGRATIONLOCALBASEROWPAGESIZELIMIT as a pattern

Example prompts

  • “/add-config-env-var”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Docker

Workflow steps

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

  1. Identify whether the value is consumed by the backend, frontend, or both.
  2. If the backend needs it, add the Django setting in

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ae95e51. 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:

    • yarn

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use yarn, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Add Config Env Var loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 96 tokens; SKILL.md has 536 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~96
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 536 words (~1,116 tokens).

“Copy the closest existing variable used by the same application layer. Public Baserow-specific env names should normally use the BASEROW_ prefix; internal Django setting names and Nuxt runtime-config keys do not.”
