What it does

Navan Local Dev Loop is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Develop Navan integrations against sanitized contract fixtures with networking denied by default. Use when changing adapters, mappings, or reconciliation logic. Trigger with "develop Navan locally", "mock Navan data", or "add Navan fixtures".

Its SKILL.md is about 900 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; live or external Navan actions require network access and explicit approval

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Accounting and bookkeeping. 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

  • Changing adapters
  • Reconciliation logic
  • With develop Navan locally
  • Mock Navan data

Example prompts

  • “develop Navan locally”
  • “mock Navan data”
  • “add Navan fixtures”
  • “/navan-local-dev-loop”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code; live or external Navan actions require network access and explicit approval
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Glob, Grep, Write, Edit

Workflow steps

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

  1. Capture a schema from authorized documentation or a sanitized response.
  2. Build minimal success, empty, paginated, corrected, denied, throttled, and malformed fixtures.
  3. Validate fixtures against local types and sensitivity rules.
  4. Run the adapter with networking blocked and a deterministic clock.
  5. Exercise mapping, deduplication, checkpoint, and rollback behavior.
  6. Keep live smoke configuration separate, bounded, and disabled by default.

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
    • 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

    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.

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code; live or external Navan actions require network access and explicit approval

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Navan Local Dev Loop loads about 904 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 66 tokens; SKILL.md has 379 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~66
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~904
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.2k

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.

Navan Offline Development Loop

Overview

Develop Navan integrations against sanitized contract fixtures with networking denied by default. This workflow produces an auditable decision or artifact before any live action.

Prerequisites

  • Access to the selected tenant's current Navan Help Center and contracted integration documentation.
  • A named business owner and data owner for the travel or expense workflow.
  • A non-production evidence set with secrets and traveler data removed.

Current Contract

Local development should exercise the application-owned contract, not depend on a live tenant. Fixtures must preserve structural edge cases while removing traveler, payment, itinerary, and credential data.

Authentication

Local tests require no Navan credential. An optional live smoke uses a separate non-production secret and must be explicitly enabled outside the normal test command.

Instructions

  1. Capture a schema from authorized documentation or a sanitized response.
  2. Build minimal success, empty, paginated, corrected, denied, throttled, and malformed fixtures.
  3. Validate fixtures against local types and sensitivity rules.
  4. Run the adapter with networking blocked and a deterministic clock.
  5. Exercise mapping, deduplication, checkpoint, and rollback behavior.
  6. Keep live smoke configuration separate, bounded, and disabled by default.

Tool Discipline

Use Read, Glob, and Grep to inspect documentation, schemas, configuration, code, fixtures, and evidence. Use Write and Edit only for approved repository artifacts. Invocation alone does not authorize network access, credentials, traveler or expense data, bookings, payments, policy or identity changes, file transfers, deployments, or deletion.

Show full SKILL.md (147 more words)Show less

Approval Boundaries

Live tenant access, new fixtures derived from real data, dependency changes, and fixture publication require explicit approval.

Error Handling

  • Never commit raw tenant responses.
  • A fixture that contains plausible personal data still needs review.
  • Fail when an offline test unexpectedly opens a socket.

Output

Return fixture provenance, covered contracts, test results, network-denial evidence, uncovered fields, and optional live-smoke plan. Identify assumptions, owners, expirations, and evidence gaps explicitly.

Examples

  • Model a late booking correction with synthetic identifiers.
  • Test an expense reversal without a real receipt.

Validation

Scan fixtures for secrets and personal data, run twice for determinism, and verify a network attempt fails. Record expected and observed results, including fail-closed behavior.

Resources

  • Current first-party evidence map — recheck dated sources and the selected tenant's in-account contract before relying on mutable endpoints, fields, entitlements, limits, or delivery behavior.
  • Record tenant observations as environment-specific evidence, never universal Navan guarantees.
