At a glance

Interactive post-onboarding tour that adapts to whatever data exists (calendar, Granola, or none).

  • Works in 2 steps: Verify Onboarding → Environment Check
  • Says show me around
  • SKILL.md covers Purpose, When to Run, Entry Point and Flow A: Has Calendar + Granola, plus 11 more sections
  • Reaches heydex.ai

What it does

Getting Started is an agent skill from davekilleen/Dex. Interactive post-onboarding tour that adapts to whatever data exists (calendar, Granola, or none). Use right after onboarding, or when the user says 'show me around', 'how do I start'. Also use proactively when the vault is < 7 days old. Not for the initial setup itself; use setup.

Its SKILL.md is about 7.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Your AI Chief of Staff — a personal operating system starter kit that adapts to your role. No coding required.

When your agent uses it

  • Says show me around

Example prompts

  • “show me around”
  • “how do I start”
  • “/getting-started”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Verify Onboarding
  2. Environment Check

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ab5d6ad. 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 python, json and bash).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • heydex.ai

    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

Getting Started loads about 7.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,051 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~75
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~7.2k

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,051 words (~7,164 tokens).

“Transform the post-onboarding experience from "blank chat window" to guided value delivery. Adaptive based on what data sources are available (calendar, Granola, or neither).”
