What it does

Dakota Ujust is an agent skill from projectbluefin/dakota. Author safe end-user ujust recipes in files/just-overrides/default.just, including quoting, gum, JSON, and public-post confirmation.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: The buildstream for making Bluefin. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

“/dakota-ujust”

Workflow steps

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

Author Recipe: Add or edit the recipe in files/just-overrides/default.just.
Quote & Validate Arguments: Pass all arguments through quote() and validate with bash regular expressions
Check Recipe Parsing: Parse the file with the Just version shipped in the target image: just --justfile files/just-overrides/default.just…
Guard Interactive Steps: Ensure commands requiring a TTY fail closed when run in non-interactive environments
Rebuild & Verify

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 909f687. 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:
- just
- jq
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

Dakota Ujust loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 36 tokens; SKILL.md has 472 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~36
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.1k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

NoteRuns commands with sudoSKILL.md:52

- **Non-Interactive Sudo**: Use `sudo -n` for status checks so scripted recipe execution does not hang waiting for a pas

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.

Dakota ujust Recipes

just <recipe> is for developers and CI from the root repository Justfile. ujust <recipe> is for end users inside the booted image, authored in files/just-overrides/default.just and built via elements/bluefin/just-overrides.bst.

When to Use

Adding, editing, or testing end-user convenience recipes in files/just-overrides/default.just
Modifying data donation commands (ujust report, ujust confirm, ujust verify)
Handling CLI interaction tools like Charm gum, desktop notifications, or system diagnostics

When NOT to Use

Editing repository-level developer commands in the root Justfile → load dakota-buildstream
Modifying host Homebrew wrapper recipes → load dakota-workstation
Adding BST elements → load dakota-packaging

Core Process

Author Recipe: Add or edit the recipe in files/just-overrides/default.just.
Quote & Validate Arguments: Pass all arguments through quote() and validate with bash regular expressions:
just
```
ISSUE={{ quote(issue_number) }}
[[ "$ISSUE" =~ ^[1-9][0-9]*$ ]] || exit 2
```
Check Recipe Parsing: Parse the file with the Just version shipped in the target image: just --justfile files/just-overrides/default.just --list. Heredocs are allowed when their indentation and delimiters parse correctly. Prefer jq -n for constructing JSON.
Guard Interactive Steps: Ensure commands requiring a TTY fail closed when run in non-interactive environments:
bash
```
if [ ! -t 0 ]; then
    echo "Interactive terminal required" >&2
    exit 1
fi
```

Rebuild & Verify:

bash

just bst build bluefin/just-overrides.bst

Invariants

Mandatory Quoting: Just interpolates recipe arguments textually before bash parses them. Every parameter MUST pass through {{ quote(...) }} to prevent shell injection.
No Global Positional Arguments: Never add set positional-arguments to files/just-overrides/default.just; this file merges into the global system recipe set.
Fail Closed Without TTY: Any recipe posting data publicly (e.g. creating GitHub issues or gists) must fail closed when stdin is not a terminal. Never treat a failed gum confirm as affirmative consent.
Non-Interactive Sudo: Use sudo -n for status checks so scripted recipe execution does not hang waiting for a password prompt.
Version-Specific Parsing: Older Just versions (including previously reported 1.47.1 cases) had heredoc parsing problems; that is not a blanket prohibition. Existing recipes parse with 1.58.0. Check the target image's version and test both Just parsing and the rendered shell syntax before changing valid heredocs.

Common Rationalizations

Rationalization	Reality
"The argument is just a number, so quoting isn't strictly necessary."	Unquoted arguments allow arbitrary shell token expansion if malformed input is passed.
"A heredoc parsed on my host, so it works everywhere."	Validate with the target image's Just version and preserve literal shell/JSON quoting.
"Users only run `ujust` in terminal windows."	Scripts and background services invoke `ujust`; non-TTY safety must always be guarded.

Red Flags

Unquoted recipe arguments: {{ arg }} instead of {{ quote(arg) }}
Heredoc delimiters or indentation that fail parsing with the target image's Just version
Missing non-interactive guards on destructive or public-posting commands
Modifying the root Justfile when a user-facing command was requested

Verification

Every interpolated argument is wrapped in {{ quote(...) }}
Argument syntax validation is enforced in shell
Recipe exits with code != 0 when run non-interactively without required flags
The recipe file parses with the target image's Just version; rendered shell syntax is valid
just bst build bluefin/just-overrides.bst builds without errors
