Three Shifts

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Tasks that involve Meeting notes and agendas

Example prompts

• “/three-shifts”

Requirements

• A credential in BASE_WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Planner cron fires (6 AM, 2 PM, 10 PM) — reads context, generates a prioritized task list
2. 2User reviews — approves, modifies, or skips
3. 3Agent executes in main session — when the user says "go" or gives specific instructions
4. 4Daily memory captures what was done — next planner reads it for continuity

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0b30b36. 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 markdown and json).

  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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

  • BASE_WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY

  From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Three Shifts loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 58 tokens; SKILL.md has 550 words of instructions outside code blocks.

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

~58

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.5k

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.

Safety

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.
