What it does

Package Development is an agent skill from foldkit/foldkit. Package registration. Use when adding a workspace package, making a private package publishable, renaming a package, or moving its workspace path.

Its SKILL.md is about 490 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files (for example `dependencies.md`, `publishing.md` and `registration.md`).

The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Adding a workspace package
  • Making a private package publishable
  • Renaming a package
  • Moving its workspace path

Example prompts

  • “/package-development”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Inspect the closest package in the same family. Classify publication status,
  2. Create or move only required source, test, TypeScript, and manifest files.
  3. Read registration.md. Classify every registration surface
  4. For a published package, read publishing.md and verify its
  5. Run codegen when the package owns generated barrels, then inspect generated
  6. Run focused package tests and scripts plus applicable root checks. Include
  7. Apply root changeset, generated-file, documentation, and workflow routing.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d21db42. 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

Package Development loads about 490 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 42 tokens; SKILL.md has 235 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~42
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~490

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.

Package registration. Use when adding a workspace package, making a private package publishable, renaming a package, or moving its workspace path.

Treat package work as a registration change, not a directory copy.

Workflow

  1. Inspect the closest package in the same family. Classify publication status, runtime, test environment, platform support, barrels, and dependency shape. Justify each proposed file by precedent or an explicit repository need. Continue when every proposed file is justified.
  2. Create or move only required source, test, TypeScript, and manifest files. When manifest dependencies change, read dependencies.md and classify every entry by role. Continue when pnpm discovers the intended name and manifests reference no absent file.
  3. Read registration.md. Classify every registration surface as applicable or not applicable and update every applicable surface. Continue when every surface is classified and old references are explained.
  4. For a published package, read publishing.md and verify its development and packed surfaces.
  5. Run codegen when the package owns generated barrels, then inspect generated sections rather than editing them manually. Continue when generated sections match source modules without manual edits.
  6. Run focused package tests and scripts plus applicable root checks. Include public API type tests when applicable. For published packages, build and dry pack the package as described in publishing.md. Continue when focused and root checks pass and the packed surface is intended.
  7. Apply root changeset, generated-file, documentation, and workflow routing.

The task is complete when package discovery, registration, generated output, validation, packed output, and changeset routing are all verified or reported as not applicable.
