What it does

Reporting Progress is an agent skill from BuilderIO/agent-native. What to say while long work is still running, and what a legal mid-task stop looks like. Use during any run over a few minutes — migrations, sweeps, babysit loops, automations, deploys — and at the moment you are tempted to stop and ask, report a blocker, or answer "how's it going?".

Its SKILL.md is about 620 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.

Example prompts

  • “s it going?”
  • “/reporting-progress”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Run it locally instead of waiting on a deploy or CI.
  2. Drive the user's logged-in Chrome instead of asking them to click.
  3. Read production directly — the DB URLs are in the template .env files.
  4. Spawn a cheap subagent for the part you think you lack context for.
  5. Pick the reversible option and say which one you picked.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit be0d784. 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

Reporting Progress loads about 620 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 76 tokens; SKILL.md has 349 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~76
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~620

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.

    ectly — the DB URLs are in the template `.env` files.

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 349 words (~620 tokens).

“Measured on 2026-08-12, "had to chase status on a long-running run" was the single most frequent correction in this repo — 86 in two weeks, more than false-done and collisions combined. Every one of them is the user asking a…”
