Install, configure, or troubleshoot Oh My Posh/ohmyposh: shell init, themes, segments, Nerd Font icons, and prompt setup on PowerShell, zsh, bash, or fish.

  • Development work in your project
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Oh My Posh is an agent skill from JanDeDobbeleer/oh-my-posh. Install, configure, or troubleshoot Oh My Posh/ohmyposh: shell init, themes, segments, Nerd Font icons, and prompt setup on PowerShell, zsh, bash, or fish.

Its SKILL.md is about 320 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 27 other files (for example `.well-known/mcp.json`).

It sits in Development. It works with Bash, PowerShell, Git and Linux. The repository describes itself as: The most customisable and low-latency cross platform/shell prompt renderer. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Development work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/oh-my-posh”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b0a8acd. 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

Oh My Posh loads about 319 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 42 tokens; SKILL.md has 79 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~42
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~319

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.
