What it does

Pause Subs is an agent skill from composio-community/awesome-claude-plugins. Temporarily disable the skill bus. Quick toggle to stop all subscriptions from firing without removing them.

Its SKILL.md is about 220 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 curated list of Plugins that let you extend Claude Code with custom commands, agents, hooks, and MCP servers through the plugin system.

Example prompts

  • “/pause-subs”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Determine Scope
  2. Update Config
  3. Confirm

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e521f7a. 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 (its code samples are json).

    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

Pause Subs loads about 222 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 30 tokens; SKILL.md has 87 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~30
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~222

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 87 words (~222 tokens).
