What it does

Smoke is an agent skill from nightly-labs/openbot. Start one or more local OpenBot dev instances and smoke test the features that the current changes or a pull request add. Use when asked to smoke test, QA, or check a change or PR in the real app, including two-client team flows, the browser client, and the iOS simulator.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Testing & QA, covering QA and bug reports and Pull requests. It works with iOS and Git. The repository describes itself as: A local-first desktop workspace for persistent AI teammates. Run Codex, Claude, and Grok with dedicated workspaces, task queues, file sharing, browser control, and agent-to-agent…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c7d6ee9. 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:
- bun
- git
- gh
- node
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git and gh, 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

Smoke loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 70 tokens; SKILL.md has 893 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~70
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.6k

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.

Auto-check: notes

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

NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:22

missing `.env.keys`, copy the file from the main checkout. Do not

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 893 words (~1,564 tokens).

“Start the local dev stack for this worktree. Then drive the real app and prove that each feature in the change works. Report what passed, what failed, and what you did not check.”
