Sets up Pawbytes Tools module in a project. An agent skill from pawbytes/skill-suites.

  • Works in 2 steps: Read ./assets/module.yaml for module… → Check if…
  • The user requests to install paw tools
  • SKILL.md covers Overview, On Activation, Collect Configuration and Write Files, plus 3 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Paw Tools Setup is an agent skill from pawbytes/skill-suites. Sets up Pawbytes Tools module in a project. Use when the user requests to 'install paw tools', 'configure Pawbytes Tools', or 'setup utility tools'.

Its SKILL.md is about 640 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including assets (for example `assets/module.yaml`).

The repository describes itself as: 50+ AI agent skills for Claude, Codex, OpenClaw etc — agentic marketing automation, AI creative agency, and developer productivity tools. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user requests to install paw tools
  • Configure Pawbytes Tools
  • Setup utility tools

Example prompts

  • “install paw tools”
  • “configure Pawbytes Tools”
  • “setup utility tools”
  • “/paw-tools-setup”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read ./assets/module.yaml for module metadata and variable definitions
  2. Check if {project-root}/.pawbytes/config/config.yaml exists — if present, inform the user this is an update

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 547a6df. 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.

    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

Paw Tools Setup loads about 639 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 41 tokens; SKILL.md has 306 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~41
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~639

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.

Pawbytes Tools Setup

Overview

Installs and configures Pawbytes Tools module into a project. Collects user preferences and writes them to:

  • {project-root}/.pawbytes/config/config.yaml — shared Pawbytes ecosystem configuration
  • {project-root}/.pawbytes/config/config.user.yaml — personal settings (gitignored, contains API keys)

{project-root} is a literal token in config values — never substitute it with an actual path. It signals to the consuming LLM that the value is relative to the project root.

On Activation

  1. Read ./assets/module.yaml for module metadata and variable definitions
  2. Check if {project-root}/.pawbytes/config/config.yaml exists — if present, inform the user this is an update

If the user provides arguments (e.g. accept all defaults, --headless, or inline values), map provided values to config keys, use defaults for the rest, and skip interactive prompting.

Collect Configuration

Ask the user for values. Show defaults in brackets. Present all values together so the user can respond once with only the values they want to change (e.g. "change language to Swahili, rest are fine"). Never tell the user to "press enter" or "leave blank" — in a chat interface they must type something to respond.

Default priority (highest wins): existing config values > ./assets/module.yaml defaults.

Module config: Read each variable in ./assets/module.yaml that has a prompt field. Ask using that prompt with its default value (or existing value if available).

Write Files

Write the collected configuration to:

{project-root}/.pawbytes/config/config.yaml

User-specific settings (API keys) go to:

{project-root}/.pawbytes/config/config.user.yaml

Create directories if they don't exist.

Create Output Directories

After writing config, create any output directories that were configured. Resolve the {project-root} token to the actual project root and create each path-type value that does not yet exist. Use mkdir -p or equivalent.

Confirm

Display what was written — config values set, fresh install vs update. Then display the greeting from ./assets/module.yaml to the user.

Outcome

Once the user's communication_language is known (from collected input, arguments, or existing config), use it consistently for the remainder of the session.
