  • Productivity & Automation work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/recipe-email-drive-link”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Find the file: gws drive files list --params '{"q": "name = '\''Quarterly Report'\''"}'
  2. Share the file: gws drive permissions create --params '{"fileId": "FILE_ID"}' --json '{"role": "reader", "type": "user", "emailAddress"…
  3. Email the link: gws gmail +send --to client@example.com --subject 'Quarterly Report' --body 'Hi, please find the report here…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a3768d0. 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.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • docs.google.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

Recipe Email Drive Link loads about 241 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 25 tokens; SKILL.md has 83 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~25
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~241

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.
