Smoke-test skill for the starter kit. An agent skill from chrisblattman/claudeblattman.

  • Works in 2 steps: Reply with exactly one short paragraph:… → Do not read or modify any files.
  • The user runs /kit-hello
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Asks to verify the starter kit installation

What it does

Kit Hello is an agent skill from chrisblattman/claudeblattman. Smoke-test skill for the starter kit. Confirms the plugin installed and skills load. Use when the user runs /kit-hello or asks to verify the starter kit installation.

Its SKILL.md is about 170 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 Testing & QA, covering Project scaffolding and QA and bug reports. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code for academics — skills, agents, and setup guides. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user runs /kit-hello
  • Asks to verify the starter kit installation

Example prompts

  • “/kit-hello”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Reply with exactly one short paragraph: confirm the starter-kit plugin is installed, state the plugin version (0.1.1), and tell the user…
  2. Do not read or modify any files.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 12e14d4. 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

Kit Hello loads about 166 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 74 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~44
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~166

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.

Kit Hello — installation check

You are confirming the claudeblattman starter kit is installed and working.

  1. Reply with exactly one short paragraph: confirm the starter-kit plugin is installed, state the plugin version (0.1.1), and tell the user the next step is to open a safe practice folder and run the first /prompt from the Starter Kit page. Say /kit-setup is optional later for Codex/Gemini second opinions.
  2. Do not read or modify any files.
