What it does

Bernstein Status is an agent skill from sipyourdrink-ltd/bernstein. Show Bernstein orchestrator status - active agents, task progress, costs, and alerts. Use when the user asks about orchestrator status, what agents are doing, task progress, how much has been spent, or what's happening with the build.

Its SKILL.md is about 370 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/status.sh`).

It sits in Agent Workflows. The repository describes itself as: The open‑source AI Agents Governance & Orchestration framework: write the rules declaratively, Bernstein enforces them and produces the verifiable, replayable record. Free…. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks about orchestrator status
  • What agents are doing
  • How much has been spent
  • Whats happening with the build

Example prompts

  • “/bernstein-status”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell

Workflow steps

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

  1. Run scripts/status.sh to fetch the full dashboard data from the Bernstein API.
  2. Parse the JSON output and present a clear summary

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit aee2ea2. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.

    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

Bernstein Status loads about 366 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 102 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~63
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~366

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

### Active Agents
| Agent | Role | Model | Runtime | Task | Cost |
|-------|------|-------|---------|------|------|

### Alerts
- {alert messages if any}

### Cost Breakdown
