When your agent uses it

Tasks that involve Transactional email

Example prompts

“/himalaya”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f8e594e. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
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

Himalaya loads about 423 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 27 tokens; SKILL.md has 60 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~27
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~423
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~2.4k

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.
