At a glance

Configures Golem host-operation retry policies for Effect-based agents and distinguishes them from Effect typed failures and Schedule retries.

  • Exponential backoff
  • SKILL.md covers Define Policies in golem.yaml, Build a Host Policy with the…, Choose Persistent or Scoped… and Query and Manage Active Host…, plus 3 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Transient recovery

What it does

Golem Retry Policies Effect is an agent skill from golemcloud/golem. Configures Golem host-operation retry policies for Effect-based agents and distinguishes them from Effect typed failures and Schedule retries. Use for retry policies, exponential backoff, transient recovery, retry predicates, Retry.withPolicy, Retry.setPolicy, Effect.retry, or retry-policy manifests.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.8k 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

  • Exponential backoff
  • Transient recovery
  • Retry predicates
  • Retry.withPolicy

Example prompts

  • “Use the golem-retry-policies-effect skill to configure Golem host-operation retry policies for Effect-based agents and distinguishes them from…”
  • “/golem-retry-policies-effect”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8bed66c. 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 Retry Policies Effect loads about 2.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 879 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~82
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.8k

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 879 words (~2,758 tokens).
