What it does

Propagate Craft is an agent skill from real-simple-labs/parker-brain. Push-based re-ship of the factory methodology bundle into brand brains that carry the method as copied files — the legacy vendored-parker-system layout and decoupled brains that asked for a refresh. Brains on the standard layout (parker-system as a pinned submodule) do NOT use this; they update by moving the pin via their own /update-brain routine, and migrations/v1.md converts a legacy brain to that layout. Use for a factory-initiated sweep of the remaining copy-based brains.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

When your agent uses it

  • A factory-initiated sweep of the remaining copy-based brains

Example prompts

  • “/propagate-craft”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2a6f6c6. 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:

    • rsync
    • git

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use rsync and git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Propagate Craft loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 124 tokens; SKILL.md has 889 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~124
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.9k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 889 words (~1,899 tokens).

“The standard brand brain no longer copies the method: it mounts the factory at parker-system/ as a submodule pinned to a release, and its weekly /update-brain routine offers pin bumps plus the release's migrations/. That is the primary update path…”
