At a glance

Locate and verify a NiceEval downstream consumer, and build and install the current candidate when downstream linking is authorized.

  • Calls pnpm

What it does

Downstream Link is an agent skill from NiceEval/NiceEval. Locate and verify a NiceEval downstream consumer, and build and install the current candidate when downstream linking is authorized.

Its SKILL.md is about 500 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/dogfooding.md`).

The repository describes itself as: build eval for your agent in 10 mins.

Example prompts

  • “/downstream-link”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 97f06fe. 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:

    • pnpm

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pnpm, 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 Link loads about 499 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 37 tokens; SKILL.md has 239 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~37
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~499
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1k

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 239 words (~499 tokens).

“Read downstream discovery and dogfooding, the target repository's nearest AGENTS or README, and the Repository Tools boundary.”
