Full CLI reference for slay — orchestrates all slay domain skills

  • SKILL.md covers Domains and Other
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Slay is an agent skill from debuglebowski/slayzone. Full CLI reference for slay — orchestrates all slay domain skills

Its SKILL.md is about 450 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The licence is GPL-3.0.

Example prompts

  • “/slay”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e912716. 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

Slay loads about 452 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 18 tokens; SKILL.md has 178 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~18
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~452

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.

Use the slay CLI to interact with the SlayZone task management system. The current task ID is available via $SLAYZONE_TASK_ID and the current project via $SLAYZONE_PROJECT_ID (both set automatically in task terminals).

All ID arguments support prefix matching (e.g., a1b2 matches the full UUID starting with a1b2).

Can I use Slay in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/slay, .gemini/skills/slay, .github/skills/slay and .opencode/skills/slay in your project.

What does Slay need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Slay is instructions for the agent only.

Does Slay access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

How many tokens does Slay use?

About 452 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 1.8k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
