What it does

Update Agents Md is an agent skill from richlander/dotnet-inspect. Use before editing AGENTS.md — enforces the 120-line launch and Steward boundaries, protected operator templates, and focused-document ownership.

Its SKILL.md is about 850 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Agent instruction files. The repository describes itself as: Tool to inspect .NET assets, like docker inspect and kubectl describe.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Agent instruction files

Example prompts

  • “/update-agents-md”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

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

  1. Record the baseline with wc -l AGENTS.md.
  2. Identify the focused owner for every changed claim.
  3. Edit the owner first when behavior or policy changes.
  4. Keep only the shortest launch-time rule or route in AGENTS.
  5. Repair incoming links and ownership statements; never leave a focused
  6. Confirm every protected template remains directly usable.
  7. Check the AGENTS and root README caps.
  8. Run Markdown lint for every changed Markdown file.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2b11462. 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:

    • npx

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • dotnet-inspect.net

    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 Agents Md loads about 853 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 41 tokens; SKILL.md has 397 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~41
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~853

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.
