At a glance

What it does

Effect Development is an agent skill from danieljvdm/effect-cf. Set up Effect, implement Atom React state, HTTP APIs or CLIs, and review Effect architecture.

Its SKILL.md is about 370 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 28 other files, including reference files (for example `.dev-kit-origin.json`, `agents/openai.yaml` and `references/api/cloudflare-workers.md`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering REST APIs and State management. It works with React. The repository describes itself as: Effect-native primitives for Cloudflare Workers and bindings. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve REST APIs
  • Tasks that involve State management

Example prompts

  • “/effect-development”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0877e66. 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

Effect Development loads about 369 tokens when it runs, and up to ~17k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 28 tokens; SKILL.md has 161 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~28
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~369
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~17k

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.

Effect development

Read the repository's node_modules/effect/AGENTS.md completely before writing or evaluating Effect code, then follow its relevant links. Installed declarations and repository policy own version-sensitive APIs and verification commands.

Read only the guide for the requested boundary:

  • React queries, mutations, shared state, workflows, or SSR: Effect Atom.
  • HTTP contracts, handlers, middleware, or server runtimes: HTTP APIs.
  • Scripts, CI automation, or command-line applications: CLIs.
  • A requested architecture review or service-boundary refactor: architecture.
  • Adding Effect dependencies or its agent guidance: setup.

For Effect React applications, Effect Atom owns shared state and server data; React renders and dispatches. View-local state can stay in React. Keep business logic in Effect workflows and declare cross-query invalidation as mutation reactivity keys. Read the Atom guide for runtime and registry ownership.

Preserve the requested scope. A component edit does not require a server rewrite or architecture audit. Follow repository policy for committed tests; changes to an atom, endpoint, or script do not by themselves justify a new test.
