What it does

Adding Workspace Apps is an agent skill from BuilderIO/agent-native. How to add an app to an Agent-Native workspace: classifying an "agent" request, scaffolding apps/<app-name, app discovery and descriptions, mounting and base paths, action-first data, and finishing a chat-template app. Use when asked to create, build, scaffold, or generate a new agent or app in a workspace.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k 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 Development, covering Project scaffolding. The repository describes itself as: A framework for building agentic apps.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to create
  • Generate a new agent
  • App in a workspace

Example prompts

  • “/adding-workspace-apps”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e16da0c. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • pnpm

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

  • Network

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

Adding Workspace Apps loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 83 tokens; SKILL.md has 805 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~83
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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.

  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:40
    add a key to local project settings or `.env`; use

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 805 words (~1,514 tokens).

“When a user asks from Dispatch chat or through @agent-native in Slack or Telegram to create, build, make, scaffold, or generate an "agent", classify the ask first. Simple Dispatch-native behavior such as a reminder, digest, monitor, routing rule, saved instruction…”
