What it does

Trusty Services is an agent skill from bobmatnyc/claude-mpm. Install and configure trusty-memory and trusty-search for persistent AI memory and semantic code search

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/check-trusty-status.sh`, `scripts/install-trusty.sh` and `scripts/verify-trusty.sh`).

It sits in Development, covering Codebase onboarding. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Claude Multi-Agent Project Manager — multi-channel orchestration, GitHub-first SDK mode, and plugin system for Claude.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Codebase onboarding

Example prompts

  • “/trusty-services”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell

Workflow steps

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

  1. Prefers claude-mpm setup trusty-memory trusty-search (the consolidated
  2. Falls back to per-binary claude-mpm setup on older claude-mpm.
  3. Falls back to raw cargo install if claude-mpm is unavailable; in

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 25203d3. 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

    Ships 3 files in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • cargo

    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

Trusty Services loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 30 tokens; SKILL.md has 369 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~30
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: 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:33
    curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

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); the scripts in this folder 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 369 words (~1,125 tokens).

“This is a migration subskill. It declares WHAT to install in its frontmatter. The HOW lives in the parent protocol: migration-wizard/SKILL.md.”
