What it does

Moon is an agent skill from dxos/dxos. This skill should be used when the user asks to "configure moon", "set up moonrepo", "create moon tasks", "run moon commands", "configure moon workspace", "add moon project", "moon ci setup", "moon docker", "moon query", "migrate to moon v2", or mentions moon.yml, .moon/workspace.yml, .moon/toolchains.yml, moon run, moon ci, or moonrepo in general.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 9 other files, including reference files (for example `examples/ci-workflow.yml`, `examples/moon.yml` and `examples/workspace.yml`).

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Containers. It works with Docker. The repository describes itself as: TypeScript implementation of the DXOS protocols, SDK, toolchain and Composer.

When your agent uses it

  • Asks to configure moon
  • Set up moonrepo
  • Create moon tasks
  • Run moon commands

Example prompts

  • “configure moon”
  • “set up moonrepo”
  • “create moon tasks”
  • “/moon”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Node.js
  • Docker
  • A credential in GITHUB_TOKEN

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 64f1a7a. 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 yaml 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:

    • moonrepo.dev

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • GITHUB_TOKEN

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Moon loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~11k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 89 tokens; SKILL.md has 315 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~89
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~11k

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 315 words (~2,080 tokens).

“moon is a Rust-based repository management, task orchestration, and build system for polyglot monorepos. It provides smart caching, dependency-aware task execution, and unified toolchain management.”
