What it does
Windows Safe Grep is an agent skill from julianromli/opencode-template. Use when grep/ripgrep fails on Windows due to paths with backslash-space sequences creating malformed paths like 'nul' from \n+ul
Its SKILL.md is about 390 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `safe-grep.sh`).
The repository describes itself as: OpenCode CLI Template by @faizntfd.
When your agent uses it
- Grep/ripgrep fails on Windows due to paths with backslash-space sequences creating malformed paths like nul from \n+ul
Example prompts
- “/windows-safe-grep”
Requirements
- A Bash shell
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Use this skill
- Replace the path with forward slashes: D:\Projects\Vibe Code\isometricid → /d/Projects/Vibe Code/isometricid
- Or use the bash command pattern with proper quoting
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 37ceab2. 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
Ships script files (Shell), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
rg
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
Windows Safe Grep loads about 387 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 37 tokens; SKILL.md has 121 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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 121 words (~387 tokens).
