Mirrord Quickstart

What it does

When your agent uses it

• A user is new to mirrord
• Wants to install it
• Needs help running their first session connecting to a Kubernetes cluster

Example prompts

• “/mirrord-quickstart”

Requirements

• Python 3
• Node.js

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Open VS Code Extensions (Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+X)
2. 2Search "mirrord"
3. 3Install "mirrord" by MetalBear
4. 4Look for mirrord icon in status bar

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c8f017a. 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:

  • kubectl

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

  • metalbear.com
  • mirrord.dev

  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

Mirrord Quickstart loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 572 words of instructions outside code blocks.

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

~54

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

~1.3k

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

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.
