What it does

Poteto Help is an agent skill from cursor/plugins, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Guides users through pstack setup, /poteto-mode, and picking the skill, playbook, or principle for a task. Type /poteto-help with a question.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/prompting.md` and `references/recipes.md`).

The repository describes itself as: Cursor plugin specification and official plugins.

Example prompts

  • “Use the poteto-help skill to guide users through pstack setup, /poteto-mode, and picking the skill, playbook, or principle for a task”
  • “/poteto-help”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Install with /add-plugin pstack in chat, or from Customize in the sidebar.
  2. Run /setup-pstack. It asks for a reasoning budget, maps a model to each role, and writes a rule. The rule applies to new chats.
  3. Start a real task with /poteto-mode, a goal, and a check that can pass or fail.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9f451cf. 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

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

    • cursor.com

    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

Poteto Help loads about 3.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 38 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,923 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~38
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~5k

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 1,923 words (~3,359 tokens).

“Answer the user's question about pstack, hand them a prompt they can send, and link the file the answer came from. For a help question, don't start the work. The user asked how, and a pstack run spends real tokens…”
