What it does

Kip Widget Creation is an agent skill from mxtommy/Kip. Create and scaffold new KIP Host2 widgets using the widget schematic with consistent post-generation implementation, registration, tests, and documentation updates.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: SignalK Instrument package.

Example prompts

  • “/kip-widget-creation”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Load .github/instructions/project.instructions.md and .agents/skills/kip-host2-widget/SKILL.md.
  2. Prefer schematic-first creation unless the task explicitly requires documented manual creation.
  3. Choose the widget name, title, description, icon ID, and registration category before generating files.
  4. Decide whether the widget is expected to support
  5. Confirm whether an existing icon ID in src/assets/svg/icons.svg can be reused or whether a new icon entry is required.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d9fb361. 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:

    • npm

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

  • Network

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

Kip Widget Creation loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 46 tokens; SKILL.md has 935 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~46
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.9k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 935 words (~1,933 tokens).

“Use this skill when creating a new KIP widget or formalizing widget scaffold + post-generation workflow. This skill defines implementation patterns only; policy authority remains in instruction files.”
