What it does

Hello World is an agent skill from pony-maggie/code_minions. Walking-skeleton smoke test skill. Writes a greeting file.

Its SKILL.md is about 150 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/run.py`).

It sits in Testing & QA, covering QA and bug reports.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve QA and bug reports

Example prompts

  • “/hello-world”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ac75593. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    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

Hello World loads about 149 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 18 tokens; SKILL.md has 44 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~18
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~149

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 44 words (~149 tokens).

“Writes a greeting file inside the run workspace. Used as a walking-skeleton smoke test for the platform; no LLM or MCP involvement.”
