What it does

Workflow steps

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

2. 2Resolve location
3. 3Search places
4. 4Get details

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1db5218. 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 script files (Python), which the agent can run.

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • curl
  • uv

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

• Network

  No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use curl and uv, 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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

  • GOOGLE_PLACES_API_KEY

  From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Local Places loads about 635 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 25 tokens; SKILL.md has 153 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~25

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~635

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

• NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:26

  echo "GOOGLE_PLACES_API_KEY=your-key" > .env

• NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:28

  uv run --env-file .env uvicorn local_places.main:app --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8000

• NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:31

  Requires `GOOGLE_PLACES_API_KEY` in `.env` or environment.

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.
