What it does

Agora is an agent skill from flancian/agora. Access the Agora Knowledge Commons to search for concepts, resolve [[wikilinks]], and explore the distributed knowledge graph. Use this when the user asks about "the Agora", mentions a [[wikilink]], or wants to search for knowledge in the commons.

Its SKILL.md is about 300 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/agora.py`).

It sits in Knowledge Management, covering Knowledge graphs. It works with Python. The repository describes itself as: A possible implementation of the Agora (flancia.org/agora). The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Asks about the Agora
  • Mentions a [[wikilink]]
  • Wants to search for knowledge in the commons

Example prompts

  • “the Agora”
  • “/agora”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Resolve a Node
  2. Search

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f56d42d. 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 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    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:

    • anagora.org

    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

Agora loads about 295 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 120 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~63
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~295

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Agora Skill

This skill allows you to interact with the Agora, a distributed knowledge graph.

Usage

Use the provided python script scripts/agora.py to perform actions.

Commands
  1. Resolve a Node:

    • To look up a specific concept or wikilink (e.g., [[Love]] or just "Love" if context implies a node).
    • Command: python3 scripts/agora.py resolve "[[Node Name]]"
    • Result: Returns the canonical URL and, if available, a synthesis or summary of the node.
  2. Search:

    • To search for a broad topic.
    • Command: python3 scripts/agora.py search "query string"
    • Result: Returns a list of matching nodes and their URLs.

Configuration

The script defaults to using https://anagora.org as the Agora instance. You can override this by setting the AGORA_URL environment variable (e.g., to http://localhost:5017 for local development).
