What it does
Tusk Make Run is an agent skill from Shape-Machine/tusk-macos. Run make run on the Tusk project (builds then launches the app) and diagnose any errors
Its SKILL.md is about 380 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-run”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read, Grep
Workflow steps
2 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Run
- 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:
BashReadGrep
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 Run loads about 381 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 26 tokens; SKILL.md has 188 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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 188 words (~381 tokens).
“Run make run to build and launch the Tusk app. This will kill any running Tusk instance, build the project, and open the freshly built app.”
