When your agent uses it

Backend & APIs work in your project

Example prompts

“/automate-whatsapp”

Requirements

Node.js
A credential in KAPSO_API_KEY

Workflow steps

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

Check project state: kapso status
List connected numbers: kapso whatsapp numbers list --output json
Resolve a display number when needed: kapso whatsapp numbers resolve --phone-number "" --output json

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 415c1b4. 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 1 file in scripts/, which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- node
- npm
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, 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:
- KAPSO_API_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Automate Whatsapp loads about 3.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~14k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 24 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,317 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~24
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~3.9k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~14k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,317 words (~3,863 tokens).

“Use this skill to build and run WhatsApp automations: workflow CRUD, graph edits, WhatsApp and Project Event triggers, Project Event emissions, executions, function management, webhook tools, and MCP tools.”
