Write, run, test and package Edge Python programs with the edge CLI.

  • Works in 4 steps: Write or edit the .py files. → Run the entry point with edge run main.py. → Add tests in *_test.py files and run… → …
  • Editing .py files in an Edge Python project
  • SKILL.md covers The working loop, CLI reference, The Python delta and Imports, plus 1 more section
  • Runs Rust scripts from its folder; calls cargo; reaches cdn.edgepython.com and edgepython.com; needs EDGE_TOKEN and GITHUB_TOKEN

What it does

Edge Python is an agent skill from dylan-sutton-chavez/edge-python. Write, run, test and package Edge Python programs with the edge CLI. Use when editing .py files in an Edge Python project or when the user asks for Edge Python code.

Its SKILL.md is about 12k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files.

It sits in Security. It works with Python, WebAssembly and Rust. The repository describes itself as: Single-pass SSA compiler and tiered register VM for a sandboxed Python subset, with NaN-boxed values, inline caches, memoization, mark-sweep GC and snapshots. One WebAssembly…

When your agent uses it

  • Editing .py files in an Edge Python project
  • The user asks for Edge Python code

Example prompts

  • “/edge-python”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in EDGE_TOKEN

Workflow steps

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

  1. Write or edit the .py files.
  2. Run the entry point with edge run main.py.
  3. Add tests in *_test.py files and run edge test.
  4. Pack a release with edge build when the program must run elsewhere.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 44d6fc1. 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

    Ships script files (Rust), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • cargo

    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:

    • cdn.edgepython.com
    • edgepython.com
    • chat.edgepython.com

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

  • Credentials

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

    • EDGE_TOKEN
    • GITHUB_TOKEN

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

Context cost

Edge Python loads about 12k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 5,578 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~44
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~12k

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 5,578 words (~11,568 tokens).

“This document is self-verifying and its examples follow the cells v1 grammar. A python or yml block followed immediately by a text block is a runnable cell, and the skill crate beside it in the repository executes every cell through…”
