What it does

Golem Make HTTP Request Effect is an agent skill from golemcloud/golem. Making outgoing HTTP requests from an Effect-based Golem agent with Effect HttpClient and FetchHttpClient.layer. Use when calling external REST APIs, sending JSON, reading HTTP responses, or integrating an HTTP service from @golemcloud/effect-golem code.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.2k 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 Backend & APIs, covering REST APIs. 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

  • Calling external REST APIs
  • Reading HTTP responses
  • Integrating an HTTP service from @golemcloud/effect-golem code

Example prompts

  • “/golem-make-http-request-effect”

Workflow steps

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

  1. declare an Effect Schema for caller-visible failures and map the HTTP errors to that type; or
  2. use Effect.orDie for genuinely unexpected failures that should become defects.

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

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

    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):

    • github.com
    • linear.app

    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 Make HTTP Request Effect loads about 3.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 71 tokens; SKILL.md has 955 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~71
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.2k

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 955 words (~3,248 tokens).

“Use the Effect v4 HTTP client from effect/unstable/http. FetchHttpClient.layer supplies the canonical HttpClient.HttpClient service through QuickJS's WASI-backed globalThis.fetch, while keeping request construction, failures, response decoding, and dependency provision in Effect.”
