At a glance

Answers questions about the Paseo app, such as setup, providers, connectivity, updates and logs, by checking the current public docs and working out which daemon is involved.

  • Works in 2 steps: Where and how the daemon runs → How the affected client reaches it
  • A user asks how to configure Paseo or add a provider
  • SKILL.md covers Use current documentation, Establish the topology first, Diagnose before changing state and Logs and local files, plus 1 more section
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

The skill answers questions about Paseo itself, not about operating agents. It starts from the published documentation: fetch the llms.txt index at paseo.sh, choose the page that owns the question, read that Markdown page, and give a direct answer that links the page. For troubleshooting it begins with the Common problems page.

Before diagnosing anything, the agent works out the topology: whether the daemon is desktop-managed, standalone from the npm CLI or in Docker, and how the affected client reaches it, through a local connection, a relay, LAN, VPN, Tailscale or the daemon-served web UI. It compares versions under Settings About and the host's Full status view and uses paseo daemon status --json on the daemon machine. Checks apply to the daemon runtime, not automatically to the client device. Operating agents and workspaces through MCP or the CLI belongs to the separate paseo skill.

When your agent uses it

  • A user asks how to configure Paseo or add a provider
  • Troubleshooting a Paseo host that will not connect
  • Finding out why Paseo updates, logs or versions look wrong
  • Working out whether a daemon is desktop-managed, standalone or in Docker

Example prompts

  • “Why can't my phone connect to my Paseo daemon over Tailscale?”
  • “How do I add a new provider in Paseo?”
  • “Where are the Paseo daemon logs on my machine?”

Requirements

  • Network access to the Paseo documentation at paseo.sh

Workflow steps

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

  1. Where and how the daemon runs
  2. How the affected client reaches it

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 29db2b7. 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 (its code samples are bash).

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • paseo.sh
    • discord.gg

    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

Paseo Help loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 88 tokens; SKILL.md has 806 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~88
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

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 806 words (~1,609 tokens).

“You are helping a user understand, configure, or troubleshoot Paseo itself. Answer their question directly, verify the answer against the current public documentation, and include the relevant documentation link. Do not send the user away to read the docs in…”
