What it does

Starter Templates is an agent skill from inkline/inkline. Anatomy and maintenance of inkline-starter- repos and examples — the two starter flavors, what every starter must include, per-framework specifics, and the clone-to-rendered-component-under-2-minutes bar. Use when creating or maintaining starters and examples.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Project scaffolding. The repository describes itself as: Inkline is the intuitive UI Components library that gives you a developer-friendly foundation for building high-quality, accessible, and customizable Vue.js 3 Design Systems.

When your agent uses it

  • Maintaining starters and examples
  • Tasks that involve Project scaffolding

Example prompts

  • “/starter-templates”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Consumer starters — inkline-starter-{react,vue,svelte,solid,angular,qwik,astro}: a minimal framework app that installs @inkline/, imports…
  2. Author starter — inkline-starter-library: for people building their own write-once component library — .ink.tsx sources + @inkline/plugin/…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f4da55a. 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

Starter Templates loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 70 tokens; SKILL.md has 397 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~70
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 397 words (~1,006 tokens).

“None exist yet — they are an open mission, gated on the first npm publish (starters must install published packages; until then, prototype in-repo with workspace/tarball installs and convert on release day). Starters are the top of the adoption funnel…”
