What it does

Extension Points is an agent skill from BuilderIO/agent-native. How extensions render as widgets inside other apps via named UI slots — the framework's optional extension system. Use when an extension-enabled app needs to wire an ExtensionSlot or make an existing one-off custom block installable into a slot.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.4k 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: A framework for building agentic apps.

When your agent uses it

  • An extension-enabled app needs to wire an ExtensionSlot
  • Make an existing one-off custom block installable into a slot

Example prompts

  • “/extension-points”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Create the extension with create-extension. The HTML can read
  2. Declare the slot target with add-extension-slot-target
  3. Install it for the current user with install-extension

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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are html and typescript).

    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

Extension Points loads about 2.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 66 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,018 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~66
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.4k

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,018 words (~2,359 tokens).

“Slots are named React-shaped holes in apps. Extensions are widgets that opt into filling those holes. The framework matches them up by string ID.”
