What it does

Stpa Overview is an agent skill from sandgardenhq/sgai. Entry point for STPA (System Theoretic Process Analysis) hazard and safety analysis.

When your agent uses it

  • Full 4-step STPA sessions
  • Focused project-critic safety reviews
  • Coordinator safety gates
  • Reviewer hazard checks

Example prompts

  • “/stpa-overview”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Define Purpose of Analysis
  2. Model the Control Structure
  3. Identify Unsafe Control Actions (UCAs)
  4. Identify Loss Scenarios

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:

    • node

    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

Stpa Overview loads about 2.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 87 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,102 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~87
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.4k

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 1,102 words (~2,406 tokens).

“STPA is a skill workflow, not a routable workflow agent.”
