At a glance

A skill your agent uses when working with TeamCity CI/CD or when user provides a TeamCity build URL.

  • Working with TeamCity CI/CD
  • SKILL.md covers Quick Start, Core Commands, Quick Workflows and References
  • Calls mvn
  • User provides a TeamCity build URL

What it does

Teamcity CLI is an agent skill from JetBrains/skills, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Use when working with TeamCity CI/CD or when user provides a TeamCity build URL. Use teamcity CLI for builds, logs, jobs, queues, and agents.

Its SKILL.md is about 740 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `references/commands.md`, `references/output.md` and `references/workflows.md`).

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering CI/CD. It works with Kotlin. The repository describes itself as: Curated agent skills collection verified by JetBrains.

When your agent uses it

  • Working with TeamCity CI/CD
  • User provides a TeamCity build URL

Example prompts

  • “/teamcity-cli”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e0f258b. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • mvn

    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

Teamcity CLI loads about 740 tokens when it runs, and up to ~7.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 196 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~39
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~740
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~7.9k

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 196 words (~740 tokens).

“Do not guess flags or syntax. Use the Command Reference or teamcity --help. Fall back to teamcity api /app/rest/... when needed. Builds are runs (teamcity run), build configurations are jobs (teamcity job).”
