What it does

Downstream Create is an agent skill from mrchantey/beet. Scaffold a new beet downstream repo (beet<name, a sibling of this checkout depending on the beet facade by path) from the template, register it with downstream-sync and run the first sync. Use when starting a repo that builds on beet.

Its SKILL.md is about 710 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 13 other files (for example `template/AGENTS.md` and `template/README.md`).

The repository describes itself as: A malleable engine built on interoperable standards. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Starting a repo that builds on beet

Example prompts

  • “/downstream-create”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Add $repo to the repo list and the DOWNSTREAM array in downstream-sync/SKILL.md and run that skill: it fills the AGENTS.md block, links…
  2. Verify from $repo: just test passes (the harness runs with no cases) and just cli --help lists the entry's routes.
  3. Nothing is committed, here or there; the user creates the remote (mrchantey/beet_).

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 38648b8. 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 script files (Rust), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • just
    • git

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, 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

Downstream Create loads about 709 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 64 tokens; SKILL.md has 269 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~64
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~709

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.

description
Scaffold a new beet downstream repo (beet_<name>, a sibling of this checkout depending on the beet facade by path) from the template, register it with downstream-sync and run the first sync. Use when starting a repo that builds on beet.

Downstream Create

A downstream is a separate git repo building on beet through a path dependency on the beet facade, inheriting beet's conventions through downstream-sync. Read that skill first: what a downstream inherits, the AGENTS.md contract and where its skills come from live there and are not repeated here. This skill writes the repo-shaped part, the files downstream-sync deliberately leaves alone, in their initial shape.

The shape

template/ is the scaffold, a single package: a lib whose @Name@Plugin registers the types the repo defines, a cli feature gating the repo's own beet binary (BeetPlugins + @Name@Plugin + LaunchPlugin, see crates/beet-cli/README.md, Downstream binaries) and the main.bsx it serves, one CliServer root with a Router child.

  • Placeholders: @name@ the snake-case suffix (the repo is beet_@name@), @Name@ its Pascal case, @description@ one line, @fmt_toolchain@ the nightly pin read from beet's justfile.
  • A repo that grows more than one concern splits into a workspace, crates/* re-exported by a root facade crate (beet_atproto); the template does not pre-empt that.
  • The template's AGENTS.md header carries the deltas every downstream has; a repo's own commands, target quirks and conventions join them above the markers.
  • Licensing matches beet's: the package declares MIT OR Apache-2.0 and downstream-sync copies the two license files in.

Run it

sh
BEET=/home/pete/me/beet
name=connect                    # the suffix: the repo is beet_$name
description="A beet downstream" # one line, the package description
repo=/home/pete/me/beet_$name
pascal=$(sed -E 's/(^|_)([a-z])/\U\2/g' <<< "$name")
fmt_toolchain=$(sed -nE "s/^fmt-toolchain := '(.*)'/\1/p" "$BEET/justfile")
[ -e "$repo" ] && echo "$repo exists" >&2 || {
	cp -r "$BEET/.agents/skills/downstream-create/template" "$repo"
	find "$repo" -type f -exec sed -i \
		-e "s/@name@/$name/g" -e "s/@Name@/$pascal/g" \
		-e "s|@description@|$description|g" -e "s/@fmt_toolchain@/$fmt_toolchain/g" {} +
	git -C "$repo" init -q
}

Then:

  1. Add $repo to the repo list and the DOWNSTREAM array in downstream-sync/SKILL.md and run that skill: it fills the AGENTS.md block, links CLAUDE.md, copies rustfmt.toml and the LICENSE-MIT.txt/LICENSE-APACHE.txt pair.
  2. Verify from $repo: just test passes (the harness runs with no cases) and just cli --help lists the entry's routes.
  3. Nothing is committed, here or there; the user creates the remote (mrchantey/beet_<name>).
