How agents work in eserstack: clarifying requests, roles, approvals, forbidden git and publish actions, cross-package changes, root-cause fixes, quality gates.

  • Every request to add

What it does

Workflow Practices is an agent skill from eser/stack. How agents work in eserstack: clarifying requests, roles, approvals, forbidden git and publish actions, cross-package changes, root-cause fixes, quality gates. Use for every request to add, build, change, refactor, improve, migrate or fix something with the domain skill, above all open-ended ones (add caching, make X faster, set up auth), for reviews, and before any commit, push, tag or publish.

Its SKILL.md is about 740 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including reference files (for example `evals/triggers.json`, `references/clarifying-questions.md` and `references/roles-and-boundaries.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Root cause analysis, Quality gates and Caching. It works with Git and Deno. The repository describes itself as: The Portability Solution for Your Code! 🚀 Powered By Deno and JavaScript.

When your agent uses it

  • Every request to add
  • Fix something with the domain skill
  • Above all open-ended ones (add caching
  • Before any commit

Example prompts

  • “/workflow-practices”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 64939e6. 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:

    • deno
    • make

    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

Workflow Practices loads about 743 tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 104 tokens; SKILL.md has 311 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~104
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~743
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~5.1k

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 311 words (~743 tokens).

“The flows and roles of agent work in this repository: clarifying the request, what an agent may do alone, how a task runs, and when it is done.”
