What it does

Aidd Observe is an agent skill from paralleldrive/aidd. Enforces Observe pattern best practices from @adobe/data/observe. Use when working with Observe, observables, reactive data flow, service Observe properties, or when the user asks about Observe.withMap, Observe.withFilter, Observe.fromConstant, Observe.fromProperties, or similar.

Its SKILL.md is about 770 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `README.md`).

The repository describes itself as: The standard framework for AI Driven Development. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

“/aidd-observe”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9a7c8e3. 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 typescript and sudolang).
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

Aidd Observe loads about 766 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 73 tokens; SKILL.md has 142 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~73
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~766

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.

name: aidd-observe
description: Enforces Observe pattern best practices from @adobe/data/observe. Use when working with Observe, observables, reactive data flow, service Observe properties, or when the user asks about Observe.withMap, Observe.withFilter, Observe.fromConstant, Observe.fromProperties, or similar.

Observe pattern

Observe<T> from @adobe/data/observe — a subscription function: (notify: (value: T) => void) => Unobserve. Callback may be invoked synchronously or asynchronously, zero or more times. Returns Unobserve to stop observing.

Creation helpers

Helper	Usage
`Observe.fromConstant(value)`	`Observe<T>` from a constant value
`Observe.fromProperties({ a, b })`	Combine named observables into `Observe<{ a, b }>`
`Observe.fromArray([obs1, obs2])`	Combine array of observables into `Observe<T[]>`
`Observe.fromPromise(() => Promise)`	Lazy; notifies once when promise resolves
`Observe.createState(initial?)`	`[Observe<T>, (value: T) => void]` — mutable state

const constant = Observe.fromConstant(42);
const combined = Observe.fromProperties({ a: db.observe.resources.a, b: db.observe.resources.b });
const [count, setCount] = Observe.createState(0);

Transformation helpers

Helper	Usage
`Observe.withMap(obs, fn)`	Transform value; map from one type to another
`Observe.withFilter(obs, fn)`	Transform or filter; return `undefined` to skip
`Observe.withDefault(default, obs)`	Use default when value is undefined

const doubled = Observe.withMap(count, n => n * 2);
const isDev = Observe.withMap(service.type, t => t === 'development');
const max = Observe.withFilter(
  Observe.fromProperties({ a, b }),
  ({ a, b }) => Math.max(a, b)
);
const withFallback = Observe.withDefault('unknown', maybeName);

Conversion helpers

Helper	Usage
`Observe.toPromise(obs)`	Resolve with first value (one-shot)

const first = await Observe.toPromise(service.states);

Common patterns

Derived observable from service:

export const isDevelopment = memoize((service: Pick<EnvironmentService, 'type'>) =>
  Observe.withMap(service.type, type => type === 'development')
);

Computed from multiple resources:

Observe.withFilter(
  Observe.fromProperties({ a: db.observe.resources.a, b: db.observe.resources.b }),
  ({ a, b }) => Math.max(a, b)
);

Lazy creation: Observe.withLazy(() => expensiveObs) — defers until first subscription.

Execute

sudolang

fn whenAddingOrUsingObserve() {
  Constraints {
    Use Observe.fromConstant for static values
    Use Observe.fromProperties to combine multiple observables
    Use Observe.withFilter when mapping and/or filtering
    Use Observe.createState for mutable state with a setter
    Call unobserve() when cleaning up (e.g. component unmount)
  }
}
