What it does

Msp Setup is an agent skill from RTFM-IT-Services-LLC/msp-claude-skills. Guided first-run setup for the MSP Operations Kit. Use this skill whenever the user wants to set up, customize, personalize, or get started with the kit or its skills: "set up the kit", "help me customize these skills", "make these skills mine", "replace the placeholders", "finish setup", "resume setup", "am I ready to use this with clients", or any first-run intent after purchase. Also trigger when another msp skill surfaces an unfilled placeholder token or an unreviewed example default, since that means setup…

Its SKILL.md is about 3.4k 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: A collection of MSP claude skills for MSPs.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants to set up
  • Get started with the kit
  • Its skills: set up the kit
  • Help me customize these skills

Example prompts

  • “set up the kit”
  • “help me customize these skills”
  • “make these skills mine”
  • “/msp-setup”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Identity
  2. Pricing cost model
  3. Setup Decisions sweep
  4. Attorney review
  5. Readiness check

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 Setup loads about 3.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 166 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,860 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~166
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.4k

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 1,860 words (~3,397 tokens).

“This skill turns the kit from a template into the user's own operating system. It interviews the user for their facts, writes those facts into the skill files, and tracks progress so setup can happen across multiple sessions. Nothing in…”
