At a glance

Run and manage ad-hoc AI prompts in sgai workspaces without starting a full agentic session.

  • You need to run a one-off AI prompt against a workspace
  • SKILL.md covers Start an Ad-hoc Prompt, Get Ad-hoc Status, Stop an Ad-hoc Prompt and Ad-hoc vs Full Session, plus 1 more section
  • Calls curl, jq and opencode
  • Check the status of a running ad-hoc prompt

What it does

Adhoc is an agent skill from sandgardenhq/sgai. Run and manage ad-hoc AI prompts in sgai workspaces without starting a full agentic session. Use when you need to run a one-off AI prompt against a workspace, check the status of a running ad-hoc prompt, or stop a running ad-hoc prompt.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts. Compatibility notes: Requires a running sgai server and opencode installed. The prompt runs as a non-interactive opencode command in the workspace directory.

It works with OpenAI. The repository describes itself as: Sandgarden AI Software Factory.

When your agent uses it

  • You need to run a one-off AI prompt against a workspace
  • Check the status of a running ad-hoc prompt
  • Stop a running ad-hoc prompt

Example prompts

  • “/adhoc”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires a running sgai server and opencode installed. The prompt runs as a non-interactive opencode command in the workspace directory.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9efbb7b. 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:

    • curl
    • jq
    • opencode

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use curl, 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.

  • Compatibility

    Requires a running sgai server and opencode installed. The prompt runs as a non-interactive opencode command in the workspace directory.

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Adhoc loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 189 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~61
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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 189 words (~1,166 tokens).

“Ad-hoc prompts let you run a single AI prompt against a workspace without starting a full agentic session. Useful for quick tasks, code reviews, or one-off questions.”
