What it does

Convert Slice is an agent skill from sillsdev/FieldWorks. Drive the conversion of one legacy slice type to the Avalonia detail view through analysis, developer alignment, integration-test planning, route/exemplar mapping, design, and scaffold/implement. Use when the user invokes /convert-slice with a slice class or layout identity, or asks to convert a slice type or an Unsupported detail row.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.3k 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 Testing & QA, covering Integration testing. It works with Avalonia. The repository describes itself as: FieldWorks is a suite of software tools for language and cultural data, with support for complex scripts.

When your agent uses it

  • The user invokes /convert-slice with a slice class
  • Layout identity
  • Asks to convert a slice type
  • An Unsupported detail row

Example prompts

  • “/convert-slice”

Workflow steps

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

  1. An existing DetailFieldKind fits -> the work is classification in
  2. A genuinely new interaction shape -> new DetailFieldKind + a new owned
  3. A custom slice (editor="Custom") -> an ISlicePlugin keyed by the

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 44b1d04. 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

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • jira.sil.org

    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

Convert Slice loads about 3.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 88 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,794 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~88
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.3k

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 1,794 words (~3,328 tokens).

“The slice-type counterpart of convert-dialog: the same stages, gates, and working-document conventions -- with the deltas a slice demands. The developer decides and confirms; this skill analyzes, drafts, and builds.”
