When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Failing and flaky tests

Example prompts

  • “/voxclaw-read-test-failures”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Condense the failure into one short spoken summary.
  2. Lead with pass or fail status.
  3. Mention the failing suite or subsystem, not the full log.
  4. Mention the likely cause only if it is already clear.
  5. Speak it with the helper

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0a1cb0f. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).

    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

Voxclaw Read Test Failures loads about 232 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 24 tokens; SKILL.md has 93 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~24
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~232

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 93 words (~232 tokens).

“Use this skill when tests or builds fail and the user wants audible notification.”
