When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Browser automation
  • Tasks that involve Accessibility

Example prompts

  • “/preview-rostra”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Check http://[::1]:2345 first. Attach when it is running. Otherwise ask the
  2. Choose a unique session name for the task. Do not use the default session,
  3. Run .agents/skills/preview-rostra/rostra-agent-browser session list. If the chosen name already exists,
  4. Start on the literal loopback origin with output boundaries, a bounded output

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7441286. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • just

    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

Preview Rostra loads about 2.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 852 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~40
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.3k

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 852 words (~2,317 tokens).

“Drive the live development UI through the policy wrapper .agents/skills/preview-rostra/rostra-agent-browser; use the full path in every command below. Read SECURITY.md before use. Before guessing syntax, load the version-matched upstream guide when needed:”
