  • : replacing platyPS placeholder text in Docs/Bicep/.md files with accurate descriptions derived from source code in Source/Public/
  • Tasks that involve Infrastructure as code

Example prompts

  • “/update-help-placeholders”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Search for placeholders in Docs/Bicep/*.md files using the command pwsh -Command "Select-String -Pattern '{{ [\s\w]+}}' -Path…
  2. For each placeholder, run a subagent that performs the following steps
  3. Verify no placeholders remain by running grep again

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 20758e9. 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:

    • pwsh

    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

Update Help Placeholders loads about 299 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 127 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~54
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~299

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
