What it does

Creating New Builtin Plugins is an agent skill from golemcloud/golem. Adds a built-in WASM plugin that is externally released and provisioned by the registry service. Use when creating a plugin that ships with Golem and is granted to every environment.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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 DevOps & Cloud. It works with WebAssembly and OpenTelemetry. 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

  • Creating a plugin that ships with Golem and is granted to every environment

Example prompts

  • “/creating-new-builtin-plugins”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Create plugins// as a standalone workspace and Golem application. Follow the OTLP exporter layout and its scoped AGENTS.md.
  2. Select dependencies from current workspace/plugin manifests rather than copying old versions. For an oplog processor, use the current…
  3. Implement the current async SDK interface. The essential shape is
  4. Add a release-profile copy custom command that writes plugins/.wasm from the actual golem-temp/agents/*_release.wasm output.
  5. Extend build-plugins in Makefile.toml. Keep it as duckscript, resolve the local binary through CARGO_MAKE_CRATE_TARGET_DIRECTORY, and pass…
  6. Run cargo make build-plugins. Confirm the generated destination exists, is non-empty, changed when expected, and validates with wasm-tools…
  7. Add one BuiltinPluginDescriptor entry with component name, artifact ID, plugin name, version, and description. Add the component name…
  8. Load publishing-builtin-artifacts, publish an independent immutable component version, and verify the pinned URL before merging.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c6a3029. 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
    • git

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, 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 no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

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

Context cost

Creating New Builtin Plugins loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 53 tokens; SKILL.md has 431 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~53
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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 431 words (~1,146 tokens).

“Use plugins/otlp-exporter/, builtin-artifacts.lock.json, and the registry plugin provisioner as the source of truth. Built-in plugins are standalone Golem applications whose generated WASMs are published as immutable assets in golemcloud/golem-builtins. The registry verifies, caches, and provisions those assets at startup.”
