Troubleshooting Golem build failures and debugging manifest file (golem.yaml) configuration.

  • Works in 2 steps: Build Tool Requirement Checks → Dependency Validation and Auto-Fix
  • Environment variables
  • SKILL.md covers Build Pipeline Overview, Step 1: Build Tool Requirement…, Step 2: Dependency Validation… and Common Build Errors and…, plus 2 more sections
  • Calls cargo, rustc and node

What it does

Golem Troubleshoot Build is an agent skill from golemcloud/golem. Troubleshooting Golem build failures and debugging manifest file (golem.yaml) configuration. Use when a build fails, when environment variables or config values are not applied as expected, when diagnosing why a manifest property has the wrong value, or when using golem component manifest-trace to inspect how golem.yaml layers are resolved.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k 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 Development, covering Secrets management. It works with Rust and TypeScript. 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

  • Environment variables
  • Config values are not applied as expected
  • Diagnosing why a manifest property has the wrong value
  • Using golem component manifest-trace to inspect how golem.yaml layers are resolved

Example prompts

  • “/golem-troubleshoot-build”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Build Tool Requirement Checks
  2. Dependency Validation and Auto-Fix

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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • cargo
    • rustc
    • node
    • npm

    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):

    • rust-lang.org
    • nodejs.org
    • docs.moonbitlang.com

    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 Troubleshoot Build loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 92 tokens; SKILL.md has 940 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~92
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.1k

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 940 words (~2,056 tokens).

“Both golem and golem-cli can be used — all commands below work with either binary.”
