What it does

Openprovider DNS is an agent skill from freekmurze/dotfiles. Read and change DNS zones hosted at Openprovider through its REST API, including its quirks (prio on originalrecord, one record change per call, stale anycast nameservers, TTL clamping). Use when asked to "change DNS at Openprovider", "add/remove/update a DNS record", "point a domain to Laravel Cloud", "back up a zone", "check whether the nameservers serve the new record", or when Openprovider nameservers return stale or inconsistent answers.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k 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 Backend & APIs, covering Backend development and REST APIs. It works with Laravel.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to change DNS at Openprovider
  • Add/remove/update a DNS record
  • Point a domain to Laravel Cloud
  • Check whether the nameservers serve the new record

Example prompts

  • “change DNS at Openprovider”
  • “add/remove/update a DNS record”
  • “point a domain to Laravel Cloud”
  • “/openprovider-dns”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Keep the old server proxying to the new origin meanwhile, so stale answers still reach the right site.
  2. Recreate the affected records: remove (one call), confirm gone, add again (one call). This sometimes forces a republish.
  3. If nameservers still disagree after a few hours, open an Openprovider support ticket listing the zones, the nameservers, and what each…
  4. Do not decommission the old server until every nameserver returns the new records.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8874280. 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:

    • jq

    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:

    • api.openprovider.eu

    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

Openprovider DNS loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 116 tokens; SKILL.md has 363 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~116
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 363 words (~1,046 tokens).

“API base: https://api.openprovider.eu/v1beta. Nameservers: ns1.openprovider.nl, ns2.openprovider.be, ns3.openprovider.eu.”
