What it does
Skill Maintenance Gotchas is an agent skill from BingHanOfUESTC/open_agent_team. Use this skill when reviewing or maintaining an agent skill after creation, especially to add gotchas from failures, check over-triggering or under-triggering, assess action-at-a-distance conflicts with other skills, and plan future iterations.
Its SKILL.md is about 290 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. The repository describes itself as: Build persistent multi-agent teams that collaborate like real organizations to deliver complex tasks. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Maintaining an agent skill after creation
- Especially to add gotchas from failures
- Check over-triggering
- Under-triggering
Example prompts
- “/skill-maintenance-gotchas”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7e28736. 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 (its code samples are markdown).
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
Skill Maintenance Gotchas loads about 294 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 68 tokens; SKILL.md has 24 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
