At a glance

Capture a follow-up item mid-session in seconds, list open items, close one, or run a review pass.

  • Works in 2 steps: If the conversation has an obvious… → Relay the script's summary to the user.…
  • The user says follow up on this later
  • SKILL.md covers The file, Modes, Add mode (default) and List mode, plus 3 more sections
  • Runs Shell scripts from its folder; calls git; reaches github.com

What it does

Followup is an agent skill from haacked/dotfiles. Capture a follow-up item mid-session in seconds, list open items, close one, or run a review pass. Use when the user says "follow up on this later", "add a followup", "don't let me forget", or runs /followup.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/followup-add.sh`, `scripts/followup-detect.sh` and `scripts/followup-open.sh`).

It sits in Development. The repository describes itself as: My dotfiles and scripts I use on dev machines.

When your agent uses it

  • The user says follow up on this later
  • Dont let me forget

Example prompts

  • “follow up on this later”
  • “add a followup”
  • “t let me forget”
  • “/followup”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell

Workflow steps

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

  1. If the conversation has an obvious source the text doesn't already carry — the PR under discussion, a file:line — weave it into the…
  2. Relay the script's summary to the user. If the script errors, surface the error — never report a capture that didn't land.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2d00b66. 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 4 files in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git

    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:

    • 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

Followup loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 556 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~54
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 556 words (~1,084 tokens).

“Mid-session capture for things that must not fall through the cracks. Items live in one central file and resurface via the SessionStart hook (followup-detect.sh) and /standup.”
