Adding typed configuration to an Effect-based Golem agent. An agent skill from golemcloud/golem.

  • Works in 6 steps: Define nested configuration records with… → Create a config service class with… → Attach the class to defineAgent as… → …
  • An @golemcloud/effect-golem agent needs settings
  • SKILL.md covers Steps, Agent with Typed Config, How Config Reaches the… and Providing Config Values, plus 1 more section
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Golem Add Config Effect is an agent skill from golemcloud/golem. Adding typed configuration to an Effect-based Golem agent. Use when an @golemcloud/effect-golem agent needs settings or parameters supplied through golem.yaml, the CLI, or RPC overrides.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

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

  • An @golemcloud/effect-golem agent needs settings
  • Parameters supplied through golem.yaml

Example prompts

  • “/golem-add-config-effect”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Define nested configuration records with Schema.Struct.
  2. Create a config service class with defineConfig(name, fields).
  3. Attach the class to defineAgent as config: MyAgentConfig.
  4. Keep durable identity in id; config is not a agent id field.
  5. Yield the config service and its field Effects inside method handlers.
  6. Set values in golem.yaml, at agent creation, or through typed RPC overrides.

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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are typescript, yaml and bash).

    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

Golem Add Config Effect loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 53 tokens; SKILL.md has 392 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
~1.3k

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 392 words (~1,262 tokens).

“Effect agents model configuration as an Effect service created by defineConfig. Each field is declared with Effect Schema, and the service is attached to the agent definition with the config property. The runtime supplies the service to the constructor Effect…”
