Managing Golem plugins — listing available plugins, installing and configuring plugins via golem.yaml or CLI, and understanding built-in plugins like the OTLP exporter.

  • DevOps & Cloud work in your project
  • SKILL.md covers Built-in Plugins, Installing Plugins via…, Managing Plugins via CLI and Plugin Priority, plus 2 more sections
  • Needs OTLP_API_KEY

What it does

Golem Manage Plugins is an agent skill from golemcloud/golem. Managing Golem plugins — listing available plugins, installing and configuring plugins via golem.yaml or CLI, and understanding built-in plugins like the OTLP exporter.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k 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 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

  • DevOps & Cloud work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/golem-manage-plugins”

Requirements

  • A credential in OTLP_API_KEY

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 yaml and bash).

    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):

    • learn.golem.cloud

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • OTLP_API_KEY

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

Context cost

Golem Manage Plugins loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 47 tokens; SKILL.md has 551 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
~1.8k

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 551 words (~1,789 tokens).

“Plugins extend component and agent behavior without modifying application code. Currently, the only plugin type is Oplog Processor — a WASM component that receives and processes the operation log entries produced by agents (e.g., exporting traces, logs, or metrics).”
