What it does

Installer Rig is an agent skill from FreakStudioCN/mpy-hardware-extension. Build, gate and acceptance-test the Rust installer (blockless-installer) on macOS and Windows. Use before running any installer command, when its tests fail, when packaging the VSIX, or when preparing a UTM VM or Windows Sandbox rig run.

Its SKILL.md is about 4.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Testing & QA, covering End-to-end testing and Marketing analytics. It works with Rust and macOS.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve End-to-end testing
  • Tasks that involve Marketing analytics

Example prompts

  • “/installer-rig”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Broken VS Code install (Windows). After a successful install, break code.cmd so
  2. Window state across the graceful close (macOS). Arrange windows and panel state, run the
  3. The uninstall ownership matrix, the destructive surface
  4. The #[ignore]d live update-API test, run explicitly, to confirm the captured fixture

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b661df6. 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:

    • cargo
    • npm
    • git
    • pwsh
    • python3

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm and git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Installer Rig loads about 4.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,661 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
~4.5k

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 2,661 words (~4,540 tokens).

“blockless-installer is a Rust rewrite of the M0 shell installers. It writes to the user's VS Code storage.json, does recursive deletes and terminates processes by PID, so where you run it matters more than for anything else in this repo.”
