What it does

Intro is an agent skill from manor-os/manor-ai. Public English guide to the Manor AI OSS self-hosted product, its visible capabilities, and end-user workflows. Use for external Manor AI introductions, feature questions, onboarding, Chat, Workspaces, Tasks, Agents, Skills, Knowledge, Flows, Automations, Integrations, reports, settings, and safe user-level troubleshooting. Do not use for features exclusive to the hosted commercial edition.

Its SKILL.md is about 780 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `config.json` and `references/platform-overview.md`).

The repository describes itself as: Source-available, self-hosted AI agent workspace for small businesses and lean teams — with BYOK, workflows, tools, and human approvals.

Workflow steps

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

  1. Identify the user's outcome and the relevant visible area of Manor AI.
  2. Load only the needed reference
  3. Answer in the user's language. Use English unless another language is requested.
  4. Lead with the outcome, then give the shortest visible path: Entry point → Page or tab → Action.
  5. State user-level prerequisites, such as Workspace access, an available Agent, an enabled Skill, or a connected Integration.
  6. Add a verification step that confirms the result in Manor AI.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 140c09a. 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.

    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

Intro loads about 781 tokens when it runs, and up to ~8.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 100 tokens; SKILL.md has 384 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~100
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~781
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~8.4k

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 384 words (~781 tokens).

“Use this skill to explain the public Manor AI self-hosted edition and guide an end user through its visible product workflows.”
