K6 Docs

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Working on k6 documentation
• The k6 changelog
• The k6 release notes
• K6 API reference

Example prompts

• “t explicitly say”
• “/k6-docs”

Requirements

• A Bash shell

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1ccacf2. 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

  Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Shell, from the files we listed), which the agent can run.

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • git
  • go

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

• Network

  No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

  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

K6 Docs loads about 678 tokens when it runs, and up to ~11k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 157 tokens; SKILL.md has 174 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~157

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~678

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~11k

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

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

name

k6-docs

description

Write or review k6 documentation across the three k6 repositories - k6-DefinitelyTyped (TypeScript types), k6-docs (user documentation), and k6 (release notes / changelog). Applies k6 doc style conventions, generates TypeScript type definitions, drafts release notes, and validates examples by running them against k6@master. Use when working on k6 documentation, the k6 changelog, the k6 release notes, k6 API reference, k6 TypeScript types, load testing docs, or when the user asks to write, edit, or review anything in the k6, k6-docs, or k6-DefinitelyTyped repos - even if they don't explicitly say "documentation".
