What it does

Lua Binding Reference is an agent skill from cataclysmbn/Cataclysm-BN. Quick reference for Cataclysm-BN Lua binding macros, Luna usertypes, libraries, documentation, type patterns, build steps, and common errors.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with Lua. The repository describes itself as: Cataclysm: Bright Nights: A fork/variant of Cataclysm:DDA by CleverRaven with a mod registry at https://mods.cataclysmbn.org/.

Example prompts

  • “/lua-binding-reference”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 165eead. 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:

    • cmake

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • sol2.readthedocs.io

    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

Lua Binding Reference loads about 2.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 41 tokens; SKILL.md has 201 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~41
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.7k

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 201 words (~2,732 tokens).

“Comprehensive reference for adding Lua bindings to Cataclysm: Bright Nights.”
