What it does

Msp Helpdesk is an agent skill from RTFM-IT-Services-LLC/msp-claude-skills. Use this skill for anything about how your MSP runs day-to-day support: setting or questioning a ticket's priority, response and resolution targets, "the client says everything is down", escalation, after-hours or emergency requests, security incident intake, triage order, your PSA (ticketing) system workflow, time entries, or ticket categories. Also trigger when drafting anything that describes support levels or response times to a client, and when training new hires on the service desk workflow (client…

Its SKILL.md is about 3.3k 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 Security, covering Security operations, Customer support and Incident response. The repository describes itself as: A collection of MSP claude skills for MSPs.

When your agent uses it

  • Anything about how your MSP runs day-to-day support: setting
  • Questioning a tickets priority
  • Response and resolution targets
  • The client says everything is down

Example prompts

  • “s priority, response and resolution targets,”
  • “/msp-helpdesk”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Contain first, backups included. Isolate the affected machine and, in any ransomware or

  3. Escalate to the owner immediately, regardless of hour.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d4c8213. 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.

    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

Msp Helpdesk loads about 3.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 239 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,735 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~239
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.3k

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 1,735 words (~3,292 tokens).

“This skill is the source of truth for how {{COMPANY_NAME}} triages, works, escalates, and closes support tickets. It exists so every ticket gets the same treatment regardless of who touches it, and so the ticket data underneath the business stays…”
