What it does

Runtime Engine is an agent skill from extra-org/extra. Working on RuntimeEngine, ExecutionContext, agent execution, or the request lifecycle. Primary tasks are tasks/0003-compiled-agent-graph.md and tasks/0004-runtime-engine.md.

Its SKILL.md is about 540 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Turn your product into an AI-powered assistant. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/runtime-engine”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 023b0a0. 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:

    • 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

Runtime Engine loads about 543 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 47 tokens; SKILL.md has 198 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~47
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~543

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: Runtime Engine

When to use this skill

Use this when modifying RuntimeEngine, ExecutionContext, agent execution, or the request lifecycle. Primary tasks: tasks/0003-compiled-agent-graph.md, tasks/0004-runtime-engine.md.

Files to read first

  • AGENTS.md
  • docs/ARCHITECTURE.md
  • docs/RUNTIME_LIFECYCLE.md
  • docs/adr/0001-runtime-engine-created-once.md

Architecture rules

  • RuntimeEngine is long-lived, created once at startup from the CompiledAgentGraph.
  • ExecutionContext is per-request and carries all request-scoped state.
  • The compiled graph is immutable at runtime.
  • The runtime operates only on compiled, typed models — never raw YAML.

Implementation rules

  • Construct the engine only on startup paths; never inside request handlers.
  • Do not put request state (identity, tenant, current request, rendered prompts) on RuntimeEngine or the compiled graph.
  • Pass ExecutionContext explicitly through routing, context resolution, prompt rendering, and tool execution.
  • Keep the engine concurrency-safe by keeping it stateless w.r.t. requests.
  • Build the engine in src/agentplatform/runtime; the graph in src/agentplatform/graph.

Validation checklist

  • Engine constructed once (startup), not per request.
  • No request-scoped fields on the engine or graph.
  • All per-request data lives on ExecutionContext.
  • Compiled graph treated as immutable.
  • Tests cover concurrent requests not leaking state.
  • make check passes.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Recreating the runtime or recompiling the graph per request.
  • Storing "current user/request" on the engine.
  • Mutating the compiled graph during execution.
  • Hidden global/singleton request state.

With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add extra-org/extra --skill runtime-engine -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/runtime-engine, .gemini/skills/runtime-engine, .github/skills/runtime-engine and .opencode/skills/runtime-engine in your project.

What does Runtime Engine need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Runtime Engine needs the command-line tools its instructions call (make).

Does Runtime Engine access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

What licence does Runtime Engine use?

Runtime Engine is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Runtime Engine use?

About 543 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.2k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
