What it does

Rho Cloud Onboard is an agent skill from mikeyobrien/rho. Register an agent email address on Rhobot Mail (name@rhobot.dev). Use when the user wants to set up agent email, register a Rhobot Mail account, claim an email handle, or onboard to rhobot.dev.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/send-test-email.py`).

The repository describes itself as: An AI agent that stays running, remembers across sessions, and checks in on its own. macOS, Linux, Android. Built on Pi. The licence is MIT.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 073a3ee. 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
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- curl
- jq
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
- api.rhobot.dev
- rhobot.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

Rho Cloud Onboard loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 53 tokens; SKILL.md has 571 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~53
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.4k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

kind: sop

Rhobot Mail Onboarding

Register an agent email address on Rhobot Mail and configure local credentials. The agent gets an inbox at name@rhobot.dev that can be polled via API.

Parameters

handle (required): The desired email local part (e.g. tau for tau@rhobot.dev)
display_name (optional): Human-readable name for the agent

URLs

Landing page: https://rhobot.dev/email
Skill reference: https://rhobot.dev/skill.md
API endpoint: https://api.rhobot.dev (all API calls go here)

Prerequisites

curl and jq installed
Internet access to api.rhobot.dev

Steps

1. Collect Handle

Ask the user what email handle they want. If not provided, suggest one based on the agent's name or personality.

Constraints:

Handle MUST be 1-64 characters, lowercase alphanumeric and hyphens only
Handle MUST NOT start or end with a hyphen
Handle MUST NOT be a reserved name: admin, postmaster, abuse, noreply, no-reply, support, help, info, security, webmaster, hostmaster, mailer-daemon, root, dmarc
You MUST validate the handle format locally before making the API call
You MUST confirm the handle with the user before registering: "Register as {handle}@rhobot.dev?"

2. Check Existing Credentials

Before registering, check if credentials already exist.

bash

cat ~/.config/rho-cloud/credentials.json 2>/dev/null

Constraints:

If credentials exist and contain a valid api_key, MUST warn the user: "Existing credentials found for {email}. Registering again will create a new account. Continue?"
If the user does not confirm, MUST stop
You MUST NOT overwrite credentials without explicit confirmation

3. Register with API

Call the registration endpoint.

bash

curl -s -X POST https://api.rhobot.dev/v1/register \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name": "{handle}", "display_name": "{display_name}"}' | jq .

Constraints:

You MUST check the response ok field before proceeding
You MUST handle these error cases:

HTTP Status	Error	Action
400	Invalid name format	Show the validation rules. Ask user to pick a different handle. Return to Step 1.
409	Handle already taken	Tell user `{handle}@rhobot.dev` is taken. Suggest alternatives: `{handle}-agent`, `{handle}-bot`, `{handle}-ai`, or ask user for another name. Return to Step 1.
500	Server error	Report the error. Suggest retrying in a few minutes.
Network error	Connection failed	Check internet. Suggest `curl -s https://api.rhobot.dev/v1/health

You MUST NOT proceed if registration fails
On 409 (taken), you MUST suggest at least 3 alternative handles

Show full SKILL.md (239 more words)Show less

4. Save Credentials

On successful registration, save the credentials locally.

bash

mkdir -p ~/.config/rho-cloud
cat > ~/.config/rho-cloud/credentials.json << 'EOF'
{
  "api_key": "{api_key from response}",
  "agent_id": "{agent_id from response}",
  "email": "{email from response}"
}
EOF
chmod 600 ~/.config/rho-cloud/credentials.json

Constraints:

You MUST set file permissions to 600 (owner read/write only)
You MUST verify the file was written by reading it back
You MUST NOT log or display the full API key after saving. Show only the first 8 characters.

5. Verify Registration

Confirm the credentials work by hitting the health and status endpoints.

bash

# Health check
curl -s https://api.rhobot.dev/v1/health | jq .

# Auth check
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer {api_key}" \
  https://api.rhobot.dev/v1/agents/status | jq .

Constraints:

Health check MUST return {"ok": true}
Status check MUST return the agent list with the registered email
If status check returns 401, credentials are invalid. Report error and suggest re-registering.

6. Claim Your Agent

The registration response includes a claim_url for identity verification.

Constraints:

You MUST show the claim URL to the user
You SHOULD offer to open the claim URL on the device using the open-url skill or termux-open-url
Claiming verifies ownership. Unclaimed agents cannot receive email and may be removed.
You MUST strongly encourage the user to complete the claim flow immediately.

7. Report

Summarize what was set up.

Report template:

Registered: {handle}@rhobot.dev
Agent ID:   {agent_id}
Credentials: ~/.config/rho-cloud/credentials.json
Claim URL:  {claim_url}
Status:     {claimed or pending}

Send a test email to {handle}@rhobot.dev to verify delivery.
Use the rho-cloud-email skill to check your inbox.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Solution
"already taken" on a handle you own	You may have registered previously. Check `~/.config/rho-cloud/credentials.json` for existing credentials.
Health check fails	API may be down. Try again in a few minutes. Check `dig api.rhobot.dev` for DNS resolution.
Auth check returns 401	API key may be invalid or corrupted. Re-register with a new handle.
Claim URL returns 404	Claim token may have expired. Re-register to get a fresh claim URL.
