Adding or updating crate dependencies in the Golem workspace.

  • Works in 3 steps: Add to root workspace Cargo.toml → Reference from workspace member → Verify
  • Adding a new Rust dependency
  • SKILL.md covers Adding a New Dependency to the…, Updating a Root-Workspace…, Pinned and Patched Dependencies and Checklist
  • Calls cargo

What it does

Adding Dependencies is an agent skill from golemcloud/golem. Adding or updating crate dependencies in the Golem workspace. Use when adding a new Rust dependency, changing dependency versions, or configuring dependency features.

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 works with Rust. The repository describes itself as: Golem Cloud is the agent-native platform for building AI agents and distributed applications that never lose state, never duplicate work, and never require you to build…

When your agent uses it

  • Adding a new Rust dependency
  • Changing dependency versions
  • Configuring dependency features

Example prompts

  • “/adding-dependencies”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Add to root workspace Cargo.toml
  2. Reference from workspace member
  3. Verify

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2dea6b9. 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

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Adding Dependencies loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 47 tokens; SKILL.md has 419 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~47
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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 419 words (~1,008 tokens).

“Dependencies of the root Cargo workspace are centrally managed. Versions and default features are specified once in the root Cargo.toml under [workspace.dependencies], and root-workspace members reference them with { workspace = true }.”
