  • “/stpa-step3-unsafe-control-actions”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Not Provided - Control action needed but not given
  2. Provided - Control action given when it shouldn't be
  3. Wrong Timing - Control action given too early, too late, or out of sequence
  4. Wrong Duration - Control action stopped too soon or applied too long

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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

    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 Step3 Unsafe Control Actions loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 681 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~75
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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.
