How to read the project-authored skills and docs when working inside the shopsys/shopsys monorepo.

  • Works in 4 steps: Package-first — where new code goes… → app/… → project-base/app/…. → vendor/shopsys/ is packages/ — and it's… → …
  • Tasks that involve Monorepo tooling
  • SKILL.md covers Rules and Applying it
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Monorepo Vs Project is an agent skill from shopsys/shopsys. How to read the project-authored skills and docs when working inside the shopsys/shopsys monorepo. Read this whenever a skill or AGENTS.md tells you to "apply the monorepo-vs-project delta". Covers package-first architecture and the path/role remapping between a standalone Shopsys project and this monorepo.

Its SKILL.md is about 710 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 Development, covering Monorepo tooling. The repository describes itself as: Main repository for maintaining Shopsys Platform packages. Open for ISSUES and PULL REQUESTS.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Monorepo tooling

Example prompts

  • “apply the monorepo-vs-project delta”
  • “/monorepo-vs-project”

Requirements

  • Docker

Workflow steps

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

  1. Package-first — where new code goes inverts.
  2. app/… → project-base/app/….
  3. vendor/shopsys/ is packages/ — and it's editable.
  4. Documentation research → use the docs-researcher skill.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0514b92. 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.

    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

Monorepo Vs Project loads about 706 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 310 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~82
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~706

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 310 words (~706 tokens).

“Several skills in this repo are authored from the perspective of a standalone Shopsys project (a clone of project-base, where the platform is an installed read-only dependency). Their canonical copies live under project-base/.agents/skills//SKILL.md. A monorepo skill of the same name…”
