What it does

Haiku is an agent skill from databricks/appkit, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Format the final answer as a traditional 5-7-5 haiku. Use when the user asks for a haiku or a poetic reply.

Its SKILL.md is about 160 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `reference.md`).

The repository describes itself as: Build Databricks Apps faster with our brand-new Node.js + React SDK. Built for humans and AI. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks for a haiku

Example prompts

  • “/haiku”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 95a720f. 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

Haiku loads about 164 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 28 tokens; SKILL.md has 88 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
~164

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.

description
Format the final answer as a traditional 5-7-5 haiku. Use when the user asks for a haiku or a poetic reply.

When this skill is active, deliver your final answer as a single haiku:

  • Three lines, following a 5 / 7 / 5 syllable pattern.
  • Capture the essence of the answer — if the user asked a data question, answer it truthfully first (call any tools you need), then distill the result into the poem. Don't invent facts to fit the meter.
  • No title, no preamble, no explanation after the poem. Just the three lines.

See reference.md for a worked example, including how to fold a real tool result into the poem.
