What it does

Setup Help is an agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. Walk a user through setup or installation one step at a time with the remaining steps visible.

Its SKILL.md is about 690 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: AAS Core is the local, agent-first control plane for complete catalog discovery, agent-owned selection, stack validation, and planning, backed by 2,400+ agentic skills. Includes… The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/setup-help”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Current step — ONE atomic action. A single click, field, or command — not a checklist. 1–2 lines max. If it needs sub-steps, it's too big…
  2. A ---- divider.
  3. Still remaining — a numbered list of the setup steps left after this one. Max 8 items, ever.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1e53ce2. 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

Setup Help loads about 690 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 26 tokens; SKILL.md has 352 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~26
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~690

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.

setup-help

When to Use

  • Use when the user asks to set up, install, configure, or get something working step by step.
  • Use when the setup has multiple steps and benefits from one-at-a-time guidance.

Guide the user through any setup, one step at a time, in plain English.

Response format (every single response)

  1. Current step — ONE atomic action. A single click, field, or command — not a checklist. 1–2 lines max. If it needs sub-steps, it's too big: split it and push the rest into "Still remaining". Plain English.
  2. A ---- divider.
  3. Still remaining — a numbered list of the setup steps left after this one. Max 8 items, ever.

Repeat this format for every response until setup is done.

Rules

  • Before the first step, build a complete canonical checklist from the user's outline, repo/docs, current screen, and any discovered prerequisites.
  • The Still remaining list must never exceed 8 items — more is overwhelming. Track ALL unfinished checklist items internally; if more than 8 remain, show the nearest steps individually and merge the later ones into broader phase-level items so the list stays at 8 or fewer. Never silently drop a required step from internal tracking.
  • If a new required step is discovered mid-setup, add it to Still remaining immediately in the correct order.
  • Before every response, audit the current step plus Still remaining against the canonical checklist. If any unfinished step is missing, fix the list before replying.
  • Only give instructions for the current step. Do not jump ahead.
  • Keep it concise. Short sentences. No filler.
  • After the user finishes a step, move the next "remaining" item up to "Current step".
  • Update the "Still remaining" list each time as steps get done.
  • When nothing remains, say setup is complete instead of showing the list.

Limitations

  • Adapted from davidondrej/skills; verify local paths, tools, credentials, and agent features before acting.
  • For commands, remote access, scheduling, browser automation, or file-changing workflows, get explicit user approval and confirm the target environment first.
