What it does
Self Archive is an agent skill from davidondrej/skills. Archive the current Cloudroom thread and release its runtime. Use when the user explicitly asks to "self-archive", "archive yourself", or "archive this thread".
Its SKILL.md is about 200 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Agent Workflows. The repository describes itself as: access to david ondrej's personal agent skills. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- The user explicitly asks to self-archive
- Archive yourself
- Archive this thread
Example prompts
- “self-archive”
- “archive yourself”
- “archive this thread”
- “/self-archive”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Send a brief closing summary before running commands.
- Archive this thread and its children. If this fails, report the error and do not stop the runtime.
- After archiving succeeds, stop the runtime. Run nothing afterward.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7874889. 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 bash).
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
Self Archive loads about 201 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 77 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
