What it does

Algolia Core Workflow B is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Build a reliable Algolia indexing pipeline for full replacements, incremental updates, settings, synonyms, and rules. Use when a source of truth must publish deterministic search state. Trigger with "Algolia indexing workflow", "replace index records", or "sync Algolia".

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/official-docs.md`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Search implementation. It works with Algolia. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • A source of truth must publish deterministic search state
  • With Algolia indexing workflow
  • Replace index records

Example prompts

  • “Algolia indexing workflow”
  • “replace index records”
  • “sync Algolia”
  • “/algolia-core-workflow-b”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Glob, Grep, WebFetch, Write, Edit

Workflow steps

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

  1. Identify the source of truth, deletion semantics, index aliases or replicas, and acceptable publication window.
  2. Transform and validate records locally, including size, required fields, stable IDs, and prohibited data.
  3. Select incremental or full replacement based on source deletion guarantees and rollback needs.
  4. Submit bounded batches, retain task IDs, and wait for completion with an overall timeout.
  5. Verify counts, sentinel records, settings hashes, and representative queries.
  6. Record the source snapshot, target index, completed tasks, and rollback or prior-index path.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • WebFetch
    • Write
    • Edit

    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

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • algolia.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.

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Algolia Core Workflow B loads about 1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 399 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~74
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.3k

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.

Algolia Indexing Contract

Overview

This skill designs the write path from an authoritative dataset to Algolia. It separates record transformation, validation, transport, task completion, and publication so a failed run cannot silently leave ambiguous search state.

Prerequisites

  • A named repository, environment, and Algolia application or index in scope
  • The local lockfile and installed client types as implementation authority
  • A safe read-only query or explicitly disposable test target
  • Current first-party documentation for any provider behavior that affects the change

Tool Discipline

Use Read, Glob, and Grep to inspect local code, configuration names, tests, and dependency versions. Use WebFetch only for current official Algolia documentation. Use Write or Edit only after identifying the target files, constraints, and verification plan.

Current Contract

  • Generate stable objectID values from source identities and reject duplicates before upload.
  • Choose saveObjects for bounded upserts and replaceAllObjects only for an intentional full-state replacement.
  • Wait for returned task IDs before verification or traffic cutover.
  • Version settings, synonyms, and rules as reviewable inputs; do not infer them from production state during deployment.

Authentication

Run indexing only from a trusted backend with a custom key restricted to the target indices and required write ACLs. Keep search-only keys out of indexing jobs.

Instructions

  1. Identify the source of truth, deletion semantics, index aliases or replicas, and acceptable publication window.
  2. Transform and validate records locally, including size, required fields, stable IDs, and prohibited data.
  3. Select incremental or full replacement based on source deletion guarantees and rollback needs.
  4. Submit bounded batches, retain task IDs, and wait for completion with an overall timeout.
  5. Verify counts, sentinel records, settings hashes, and representative queries.
  6. Record the source snapshot, target index, completed tasks, and rollback or prior-index path.

Approval Boundaries

Do not run a full replacement, delete records, change settings, or swap a production target until the source snapshot and rollback plan are approved.

Output

Return the data contract, operation choice, validation report, task receipts, post-write checks, deletion behavior, and rollback instructions.

Error Handling

ConditionResponse
Duplicate objectIDFail before upload and report source records.
Partial batch failureStop publication and preserve successful task IDs.
Task timeoutDo not assume failure or success; query task state.
Verification mismatchKeep the prior production target and investigate.

Examples

Use this compact input and expected handoff to calibrate scope and evidence quality.

Input:

text
source=snapshot-2026-09-10; mode=full-replacement; target=products_next

Expected handoff:

text
records=48012; tasks=49-complete; sentinel-query=pass; cutover=pending-approval
