What it does

Horse Providers is an agent skill from HashLoad/horse. Guide to selecting and configuring Horse server adapters (Indy console, CGI, ISAPI, Daemon, HTTP.sys).

Its SKILL.md is about 350 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: Fast, opinionated, minimalist web framework for Delphi. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/horse-providers”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d4351a5. 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 (its code samples are pascal).

    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

Horse Providers loads about 351 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 30 tokens; SKILL.md has 96 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~30
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~351

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.

Horse Providers

Available Provedores (Server Adapters)

Horse supports multiple execution providers. To change the provider, simply include the corresponding unit in your .dpr uses clause.

  • Horse.Provider.Console (Default - Indy-based): Launches a standalone console application listening on a TCP port. Best for local development and microservices.
  • Horse.Provider.Daemon: Integrates Horse with Windows Services or Linux Daemons.
  • Horse.Provider.HTTPsys: Integrates with the native Windows HTTP Server API (HTTP.sys). Provides high performance and native SSL/HTTPS support on Windows without needing Apache/Nginx.
  • Horse.Provider.CGI / Horse.Provider.ISAPI: For deployment inside IIS (Internet Information Services) or Apache on Windows.
  • Horse.Provider.Apache: Native Apache web server module.

Configuration Example

pascal
program MyAPI;

{$APPTYPE CONSOLE}

uses
  // Include the target provider unit. Only ONE provider should be active.
  Horse,
  Horse.Provider.HTTPsys; 

begin
  THorse.Get('/health',
    procedure(Req: THorseRequest; Res: THorseResponse; Next: TProc)
    begin
      Res.Send('healthy');
    end);

  // Starts the HTTPsys server
  THorse.Listen(8080);
end.
