Tianji Worker Operations

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Creating and deploying a new Tianji Worker
• Scheduling, pausing or rolling back a deployed Worker
• Debugging a Worker run through its executions and logs
• Managing Worker environment variables and shared modules

Example prompts

• “Create a Tianji Worker that checks our status page every hour and deploy it to the production workspace.”
• “Pause the nightly cleanup Worker without changing its other settings.”
• “Roll the report Worker back to its previous revision.”
• “Pull the compiled code of the daily-digest Worker so I can edit it locally.”

Requirements

• Access to a Tianji server and workspace
• The tianji CLI for local Worker projects

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Identify the requested operation, Tianji server, workspace, and existing Worker ID or new Worker name. Use existing configuration where…
2. 2Fetch and read the target instance's /open/_document before operating a Worker. Use its OpenAPI document to confirm exported operations…
3. 3Read Common operations for configuration preservation and execution rules. Operations absent from OpenAPI require the separately…
4. 4Before writing or modifying code, read Runtime reference. Tianji's sandbox differs from Node.js, browsers, and Cloudflare Workers.
5. 5For an existing Worker, inspect its current code, active state, cron settings, and revisions before changing it. Preserve unrelated…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 28243e9. 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 (its code samples are javascript).

  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

Tianji Worker Operations loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~8.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 47 tokens; SKILL.md has 446 words of instructions outside code blocks.

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

~47

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

~1.1k

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~8.6k

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.
