What it does

Mycelium Remote Agent is an agent skill from mycelium-io/mycelium. Bootstrap yourself as an ephemeral Mycelium agent when your environment is wired to a hub. Claims a distinct per-session identity (delegated from a shared workload credential, owned by the human), picks up or opens a task on the room's board, and reports progress there. Use at the start of a remote or cloud session (Claude Code cloud, a CI job) whose environment sets MYCELIUMAPIURL and MYCELIUMAGENTAUTHCLIENTID, or when asked to "report to mycelium", "join the room", "take something off the board", or "post…

Its SKILL.md is about 3k 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: Multi-agent coordination + persistent memory, semantic negotiation, async rooms, and a shared knowledge graph.

Example prompts

  • “report to mycelium”
  • “join the room”
  • “take something off the board”
  • “/mycelium-remote-agent”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in MYCELIUM_AGENT_AUTH_CLIENT_SECRET

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Make sure the CLI is installed
  2. Claim your identity
  3. Read the room. Do not write to it.
  4. Work a task, not a room
  5. Report at milestones — in the row
  6. Close the task out before you exit

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6a814e1. 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:

    • curl
    • sh
    • uv

    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:

    • astral.sh

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • MYCELIUM_AGENT_AUTH_CLIENT_SECRET

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Mycelium Remote Agent loads about 3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 140 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,317 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~140
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePipes a well-known installer script into a shellSKILL.md:34
    command -v uv >/dev/null 2>&1 || curl -fsSL https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

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 1,317 words (~2,978 tokens).

“You are running in an environment wired to a Mycelium hub: a shared coordination room on a remote server. This skill gives you a distinct identity in that room, tells you how to work a task of that room's board…”
