  • “/populate-log”

Requirements

  • Docker
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read

Workflow steps

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

  1. Successful login (with IP and user agent)
  2. Failed login — known user, wrong password (with IP)
  3. Failed login — unknown username (bot user agent)
  4. Plugin updated (WooCommerce 9.4.3 → 9.5.1)
  5. Plugin installed (Query Monitor with full details)
  6. Page updated with content diff (About Us)
  7. Blog post published
  8. Post trashed
  9. Plugin activated (Yoast SEO)
  10. Plugin deactivated (Hello Dolly)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 24f337f. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash
    • Read

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • docker

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use docker, 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

Populate Log loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 355 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~39
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.

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Bash, Read

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 355 words (~1,219 tokens).

“Add test events to the Simple History event log using WP-CLI.”
