Guide for ECHO (DXOS object graph / local-first DB). An agent skill from dxos/dxos.

  • Changing queries
  • SKILL.md covers Packages (where code lives), Obtaining a Database, API reference (short) and When to use which style, plus 3 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Ref/DXN handling

What it does

Dxos Echo is an agent skill from dxos/dxos. Guide for ECHO (DXOS object graph / local-first DB). Use when adding or changing queries, filters, schema types, Ref/DXN handling, Database service layers, EchoClient/space DB access, or React ECHO hooks.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.8k 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 React. The repository describes itself as: TypeScript implementation of the DXOS protocols, SDK, toolchain and Composer.

When your agent uses it

  • Changing queries
  • Ref/DXN handling
  • Database service layers
  • EchoClient/space DB access

Example prompts

  • “/dxos-echo”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2e6b92a. 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 typescript).

    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

Dxos Echo loads about 3.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 969 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~54
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.8k

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 969 words (~3,754 tokens).

“ECHO is the typed object graph backed by Automerge: spaces expose a Database you mutate with reactive proxies and query with Filter / Query ASTs. Core types and both imperative and Effect-style DB access live in @dxos. Client wiring (sync…”
