Runs Python scripts from its folder; calls curl and bash

What it does

The card is a 540 × 960 e-ink panel placed beside the monitor. The agent picks from 16 widget types, fills in data that matches each widget's JSON schema, and posts one to four widgets to a local daemon, by default at 127.0.0.1:9877, which renders a single frame. Traffic stays on loopback, so individual widget writes do not trigger approval prompts in the agent.

The screen has four slots. The two top slots are 270 px wide and suit glance widgets such as weather, inbox, ai-status or git-status. The middle slot is the largest and takes the headline widget (calendar, focus or next-meeting), and the bottom slot holds list-style widgets like todo, deadlines, pr-queue or messages. If you have no preference, the default puts weather top-left and ai-status top-right.

Update frequency matters on e-ink. Changing one widget's content is fine, but streaming per keystroke is ruled out because every push refreshes the panel and wears it over time. ai-status gets one push at the start and one at the end, and live timers at most every 30 seconds. The daemon picks Wi-Fi, USB or BLE at startup: a single-widget update takes about 0.2 s over Wi-Fi but much longer on USB, where a full frame takes about 32 s, so the skill suggests /card-wifi-setup. Two Python scripts fetch notifications and todo reminders.

When your agent uses it

Showing today's calendar, next meeting or todos on a desk e-ink display
Putting AI task status, git status or a PR queue on a secondary screen
Choosing which four widgets and slots the card should show

Example prompts

“Show my next meeting in the middle slot of the card and weather in the top left.”
“Put my todo list on the e-ink display and refresh it when I finish tasks.”
“Push an ai-status widget to the card when you start this refactor and again when it's done.”

Requirements

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit dc3b498. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
- Bash
- Read
- Write
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Python, from the files we listed), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- curl
- bash
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use curl, 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

M5Paper Card Widgets loads about 3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 120 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,020 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~120
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.

NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
```
allowed-tools: Bash, Read, Write

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); the scripts in this folder 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 1,020 words (~2,961 tokens).

“The card is a 540 × 960 e-ink panel sitting next to the user's monitor. You push 1-4 widgets and the daemon renders a single frame; transfer time depends on the transport.”
