  • Mobile work in your project
  • Calls make

What it does

Tusk Make Clean is an agent skill from Shape-Machine/tusk-macos. Run make clean on the Tusk project and diagnose any errors

Its SKILL.md is about 260 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 Mobile. It works with PostgreSQL and Xcode. The repository describes itself as: Native PostgreSQL app for macOS.

When your agent uses it

  • Mobile work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/tusk-make-clean”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read, Grep

Workflow steps

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

  1. Run clean
  2. Evaluate result

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c3e7592. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash
    • Read
    • Grep

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • make

    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

Tusk Make Clean loads about 261 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 19 tokens; SKILL.md has 122 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~19
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~261

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Bash, Read, Grep

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 122 words (~261 tokens).

“Run make clean to remove Xcode build artifacts for the Tusk project.”
