Relations

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Asks to who do I owe a reply

Example prompts

• “who do I owe a reply”
• “/relations”

Requirements

• Python 3
• Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read, Grep, Glob, Skill, AskUserQuestion

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Shadow mode is the default. With relations_shadow_mode true, this skill
2. 2Never merge two records on a name. Hard keys only: contact-provider id,
3. 3Every fact, commitment and follow-up carries a source reference. No source,
4. 4Facts and inference are separate. An inference never justifies an outbound.
5. 5Silence is the default. Nothing meaningful changed means send nothing.
6. 6Contact history never enters agent memory. Person facts belong in the
7. 7Progressive disclosure. Never load the contact list into context. Query the

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1aa0928. 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:

  • Bash
  • Read
  • Grep
  • Glob
  • Skill
  • AskUserQuestion

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • python3

  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

Relations loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 28 tokens; SKILL.md has 730 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~28

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~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

  allowed-tools: Bash, Read, Grep, Glob, Skill, AskUserQuestion

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.
