Modifying service configuration types or defaults. An agent skill from golemcloud/golem.

  • Works in 4 steps: Edit the config struct → Regenerate config files → Verify affected behavior → …
  • Changing config structs
  • SKILL.md covers How Configuration Works, Service Config Locations, Modifying a Config and Adding a New Config Field, plus 3 more sections
  • Calls cargo

What it does

Modifying Service Configs is an agent skill from golemcloud/golem. Modifying service configuration types or defaults. Use when changing config structs, adding config fields, or updating default values for any Golem service.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k 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

  • Changing config structs
  • Adding config fields
  • Updating default values for any Golem service

Example prompts

  • “/modifying-service-configs”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Edit the config struct
  2. Regenerate config files
  3. Verify affected behavior
  4. Review generated configs

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit efc90f0. 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

    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

    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

Modifying Service Configs loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 46 tokens; SKILL.md has 461 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~46
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~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 461 words (~1,020 tokens).

“Golem services use a configuration system built on Figment via a custom ConfigLoader. Configuration defaults are serialized to TOML and env-var reference files that are checked into the repository and validated in CI.”
