What it does
Deterministic Scripts is an agent skill from microsoft/haste, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Deterministic script execution skill for HASTE. Execute scripts instead of free-form LLM behavior for consistent, repeatable operations. Use when: 'run preprocessing', 'convert format', 'parse metadata', 'generate tiles', 'build wheel', 'deploy functions'. Prevents hallucinated scripts.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in DevOps & Cloud. It works with Microsoft Azure, Docker and npm. The repository describes itself as: High Speed Assessment and Satellite Tracking for Emergencies. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- : run preprocessing
- Deploy functions
Example prompts
- “run preprocessing”
- “convert format”
- “parse metadata”
- “/deterministic-scripts”
Requirements
- Python 3
- Node.js
- Docker
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 079bd89. 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:
npmpythoncondapipdocker-compose
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm and pip, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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
Deterministic Scripts loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 77 tokens; SKILL.md has 445 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.

Deterministic Script Execution
Overview
HASTE has established scripts and commands for common operations. Agents must use these exact commands instead of generating free-form alternatives. This prevents hallucinated scripts, ensures consistency, and makes operations repeatable.
Key Concepts
Why Deterministic Scripts Matter
- LLMs can "helpfully" generate plausible-looking but incorrect commands
- HASTE has specific build tooling (hatch, conda) that must be used correctly
- Azure Functions deployment has specific prerequisites and ordering
- Geospatial processing requires exact GDAL/rasterio invocations
Patterns & Techniques
Build & Package Operations
| Operation | Exact Command | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Build core wheel | cd hastelib && hatch build -t wheel | Auto-increments version, copies to func apps |
| Run Python tests | cd hastelib && hatch run test:pytest | Uses conda env with GDAL |
| Build UI | cd ui && npm run build | Production build via Vite |
| Lint UI | cd ui && npm run lint | ESLint with React rules |
| Install UI deps | cd ui && npm install | Uses package-lock.json |
| Create conda env | conda env create -f env.yml | Full env with GDAL and dependencies |
| Update conda env | conda env update -f env.yml | Preserves existing packages |
| Install hastelib editable | pip install -e hastelib/ | For local development hot-reload |
Local Development
| Operation | Exact Command | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Start API locally | cd api/hastefuncapi && func host start | Requires .venv or conda env |
| Start UI locally | cd ui && swa start --app-devserver-url http://localhost:5173 --run 'npm run dev' | SWA CLI with Vite dev server |
| Start Azurite | azurite --silent --location ./data --debug ./data/debug.log | Local Azure Storage emulator |
| Start Docker stack | docker-compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml up | Full local stack |
Deployment
| Operation | Exact Command | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Deploy Azure Function | func azure functionapp publish <NAME> --subscription <SUB> --tenant <TENANT> | After hatch build |
| Deploy SWA | cd ui && swa deploy --app-location ./dist --app-name <NAME> | After npm run build |
| Build Docker images | ./build_and_push_images.sh | Builds training + imagery prep images |
Show full SKILL.md (164 more words)Show less
Imagery Processing
| Operation | Approach | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| COG generation | Use rasterio with COG driver profile | Never use raw GDAL CLI unless wrapping in Python |
| Tile generation | Through ImageryPreProcessor | Not manual gdal2tiles |
| Reprojection | rasterio.warp.reproject() | Always specify src_crs and dst_crs |
| Format conversion | Through provider-specific adapter | Not generic gdal_translate |
Decision Framework
| Situation | Do This | NOT This |
|---|---|---|
| Need to run tests | hatch run test:pytest | pytest (wrong env) |
| Need to build wheel | hatch build -t wheel | python setup.py bdist_wheel |
| Need to start API | func host start | python function_app.py |
| Need Azure storage locally | azurite | Custom mock storage |
| Need to process imagery | Use ImageryPreProcessor | Write new GDAL script |
| Need to deploy | func azure functionapp publish | Manual zip deployment |
Common Pitfalls
- Inventing new build commands — Use the established commands above
- Running pytest directly — Use
hatch run test:pytestto get the correct conda env - Starting the UI with
npm start— HASTE usesswa startwith Vite dev server - Using
python setup.py— HASTE uses hatch/hatchling, not setuptools - Generating GDAL scripts from scratch — Use existing processor methods
