What it does

Slot Engine is an agent skill from BuilderIO/agent-native. The pure computeAvailableSlots function — inputs, outputs, invariants, and debugging guide.

Its SKILL.md is about 500 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 Debugging. The repository describes itself as: A framework for building agentic apps.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Debugging

Example prompts

  • “/slot-engine”

Workflow steps

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

  1. No slot falls in the past (now + minimumBookingNotice is the floor).
  2. No slot overlaps a busy interval (with buffers applied).
  3. No slot falls outside the schedule's available intervals for that day.
  4. No slot exceeds a booking limit.
  5. No slot falls outside the event's period (rolling/range).
  6. DST-safe: we convert to UTC using the schedule's timezone before doing

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

Slot Engine loads about 502 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 26 tokens; SKILL.md has 261 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~26
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~502

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 261 words (~502 tokens).
