At a glance

Inspect, filter, summarize, and transform sandbox files with shell tools.

  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Shell Data Workbench is an agent skill from bionic-gpt/bionic-gpt. Inspect, filter, summarize, and transform sandbox files with shell tools.

Its SKILL.md is about 130 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: Bionic is sovereign Agentic AI for the enterprise — Runs on-premise and can securely work with your sensitive data and systems. The licence is Apache-2.0.

Example prompts

  • “/shell-data-workbench”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c155c00. 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

    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

Shell Data Workbench loads about 131 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 24 tokens; SKILL.md has 60 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~24
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~131

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.

Shell Data Workbench

Use this skill when the user asks to inspect, filter, summarize, or transform files inside the Bashkit sandbox.

Prefer normal shell tools such as find, rg, grep, awk, sed, sort, uniq, wc, jq, csv, yaml, and tomlq.

Work inside /home/user unless the task requires /tmp. Keep intermediate files small and explain the final result, not every command.
