What it does

Faasjs Utils Data is an agent skill from faasjs/faasjs. Use when working with @faasjs/utils or FaasJS data helpers: deepMerge, streamToString, stringToStream, objectToStream, streamToObject, parseJson, parseObjectFromJson, parseArrayFromJson, parseYaml, z validation helpers, isObjectRecord, parseSchemaValue, formatSchemaError, and isPathInsideRoot.

Its SKILL.md is about 400 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including reference files (for example `references/guidelines/json.md`, `references/guidelines/utils.md` and `references/guidelines/valid.md`).

It works with Zod. The repository describes itself as: 🚀 FaasJS is an agent-friendly full-stack TypeScript framework for building predictable, type-safe applications with minimal dependencies. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Working with @faasjs/utils
  • FaasJS data helpers: deepMerge
  • ParseObjectFromJson
  • ParseArrayFromJson

Example prompts

  • “/faasjs-utils-data”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Use the smallest helper that matches the payload shape.
  2. Keep JSON helpers paired with JSON payloads and text helpers paired with text streams.
  3. Use Zod schemas for external data validation and helper type guards for unknown internal values.
  4. Use parseYaml() for direct YAML parsing; use loadConfig() when staged FaasJS config discovery is required.
  5. Validate root-scoped paths before file access in Node-side tooling.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8136384. 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.

    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

Faasjs Utils Data loads about 398 tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 78 tokens; SKILL.md has 159 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~78
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~398
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4.1k

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.

FaasJS Utils And Data

Default Workflow

  1. Use the smallest helper that matches the payload shape.
  2. Keep JSON helpers paired with JSON payloads and text helpers paired with text streams.
  3. Use Zod schemas for external data validation and helper type guards for unknown internal values.
  4. Use parseYaml() for direct YAML parsing; use loadConfig() when staged FaasJS config discovery is required.
  5. Validate root-scoped paths before file access in Node-side tooling.

Load These References

  • Portable helpers and quick selection rules: references/guidelines/utils.md.
  • JSON parsing and JSON stream helpers: references/guidelines/json.md.
  • Direct YAML parsing: references/guidelines/yaml.md.
  • Zod helpers, object narrowing, schema parsing, and path containment: references/guidelines/valid.md.

Gotchas

  • Do not replace internal control-flow checks with Zod schemas.
  • objectToStream pairs with streamToObject; stringToStream pairs with streamToString.
  • Use loadConfig() instead of direct YAML parsing when config staging and merge order matter.

Validation

  • Run focused unit tests with vp test <pattern> for helper behavior changes.
  • Run vp check --fix before handoff when utility files changed.
