What it does

Algolia Install Auth is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Install and verify the Algolia JavaScript v5 client with least-privilege credential separation. Use when bootstrapping a backend, browser search client, or environment configuration. Trigger with "install Algolia", "configure Algolia auth", or "Algolia API key setup".

Its SKILL.md is about 990 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 and JavaScript. 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

  • Bootstrapping a backend
  • Browser search client
  • Environment configuration
  • With install Algolia

Example prompts

  • “install Algolia”
  • “configure Algolia auth”
  • “Algolia API key setup”
  • “/algolia-install-auth”

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. Inspect runtime, package manager, lockfile, existing wrappers, and environment conventions.
  2. Select a compatible pinned v5 version and add it through the native package workflow.
  3. Define separate environment names for application ID, browser search key, and server write key.
  4. Create one client factory per trust boundary and reject missing configuration without echoing values.
  5. Verify browser search with a read-only query and backend writes only against a disposable index.
  6. Scan built assets and source history for accidental write-key exposure.

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 Install Auth loads about 994 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 72 tokens; SKILL.md has 396 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~72
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~994
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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

    t mechanism. Never print values, commit `.env` files, or use the Admin key as the default backend credential.

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 Install and Authentication

Overview

This skill establishes the package and credential boundary before feature work. It distinguishes the application ID from API keys and separates browser search from trusted write operations.

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

  • Inspect and follow the repository's package manager and lockfile rather than installing an unpinned latest package.
  • Use algoliasearch v5 imports and client-level methods; do not introduce the removed initIndex pattern.
  • Expose only a search-only or appropriately secured key in browser configuration.
  • Use custom keys with minimum ACLs and index restrictions for backend jobs.

Authentication

Load credentials through the repository's approved secret mechanism. Never print values, commit .env files, or use the Admin key as the default backend credential.

Instructions

  1. Inspect runtime, package manager, lockfile, existing wrappers, and environment conventions.
  2. Select a compatible pinned v5 version and add it through the native package workflow.
  3. Define separate environment names for application ID, browser search key, and server write key.
  4. Create one client factory per trust boundary and reject missing configuration without echoing values.
  5. Verify browser search with a read-only query and backend writes only against a disposable index.
  6. Scan built assets and source history for accidental write-key exposure.

Approval Boundaries

Do not install dependencies, create provider keys, alter secret stores, or rotate existing credentials outside the repository and account scope provided.

Output

Return the dependency diff, client factories, environment-name contract, key/ACL matrix, verification results, secret-scan evidence, and remaining setup actions.

Error Handling

ConditionResponse
v4 API appears in codeUse the official v5 migration guide before mixing patterns.
Key rejectedVerify application pairing, ACL, restriction, and environment.
Write key enters browser buildStop, remove it, and rotate if exposed.
No safe test indexLimit verification to read-only search.

Examples

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

Input:

text
runtime=node; package-manager=pnpm; client-major=5; browser=search-only

Expected handoff:

text
read-check=pass; write-check=disposable-index-only; exposed-write-key=none
