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

What it does

Feature is an agent skill from bradtraversy/devstash. Manage current feature workflow - start, review, explain or complete

Its SKILL.md is about 350 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files (for example `actions/complete.md`, `actions/explain.md` and `actions/load.md`).

The repository describes itself as: Knowledge hub for developers for snippets, prompts, commands and more. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/feature”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4fd5830. 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

Feature loads about 350 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 19 tokens; SKILL.md has 120 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~19
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~350

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.

With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add bradtraversy/devstash --skill feature -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/feature, .gemini/skills/feature, .github/skills/feature and .opencode/skills/feature in your project.

What does Feature need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Feature is instructions for the agent only.
