What it does

Chatbotx Basecode is an agent skill from ChatbotXIO/ChatbotX. Understand and audit the ChatbotX base code before making changes. Use when asked to scan the project, check architecture, locate ownership boundaries, onboard to the repository, or decide which project-specific skill should handle a task.

Its SKILL.md is about 810 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 Databases. The repository describes itself as: Open-source ManyChat alternative, built for AI. Omnichannel marketing across WhatsApp, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, Telegram, Zalo, Email, API, and Webchat 🤖.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to scan the project
  • Check architecture
  • Locate ownership boundaries
  • Onboard to the repository

Example prompts

  • “/chatbotx-basecode”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read the nearest package.json, route/module files, and sibling features.
  2. Identify the owning layer before editing — the chain is
  3. Search for a similar feature and mirror naming, imports, error handling, and tests.
  4. Check .agents/rules/* for local invariants, especially data access and git.
  5. Keep changes scoped to the user request; do not refactor legacy exceptions unless required.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 565c51a. 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

Chatbotx Basecode loads about 806 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 64 tokens; SKILL.md has 346 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~64
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~806

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 346 words (~806 tokens).

“Use this skill as the first pass for broad or ambiguous requests. It is a map, not a replacement for reading adjacent code.”
