Workflow steps

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

  1. A background verb. Synthetic browser input, AX refs, --app / --pid / --window on interceptor macos input, and --trusted browser input (a…
  2. interceptor tab keepalive for a page that will not render while hidden.

  4. Only then a focus move. Say so first, keep it to one fast batch, and put back the frontmost app, the active tab, and the cursor.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ab6772f. 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

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Interceptor loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 151 tokens; SKILL.md has 968 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~151
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.9k

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 968 words (~1,867 tokens).

“Use this as the routing skill before loading a surface-specific skill.”
