  • Works in 2 steps: Create a task with task_type='trigger'… → Create the trigger pointing at it
  • Eventfilter rules
  • SKILL.md covers The trigger ↔ task pattern, The trigger ↔ app handler…, The trigger ↔ notification… and Vendor-subscribed triggers…, plus 5 more sections
  • Calls curl; reaches github.com

What it does

Triggers Guide is an agent skill from OtoDock/oto-dock. Reference for the triggers-mcp tools — the trigger↔task and trigger↔notification patterns with full call shapes, vendor-subscribed (OAuth) triggers and eventfilter rules, payload placeholders, external-system setup and API keys, debounce, and worked examples. Load before creating or editing a webhook trigger.

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.

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Webhooks, MCP servers and OAuth and OpenID Connect. The repository describes itself as: The agentic company OS. The brains of your company, built on Claude Code and Codex, working on your Anthropic and OpenAI subscriptions.

When your agent uses it

  • Eventfilter rules
  • Payload placeholders
  • External-system setup and API keys
  • Worked examples

Example prompts

  • “/triggers-guide”

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Create a task with task_type='trigger' (no schedule, no run_at — it only runs when something fires it)
  2. Create the trigger pointing at it

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5308f5a. 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

    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:

    • github.com

    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

Triggers Guide loads about 3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,355 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~82
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 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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,355 words (~2,975 tokens).

“The trigger-instructions card in your instructions carries the rules (which tool for which request, the two scopes, exact event_type values, what to tell the user). This guide is the reference behind them.”
