What it does

Token Meter Development is an agent skill from splunk/token-meter. Use when a Token Meter issue or approved feature needs diagnosis or implementation in the repository.

Its SKILL.md is about 860 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 AI & LLM Engineering. The repository describes itself as: Open-source, local-first AI coding agent usage and cost dashboard for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, Kiro, and Pi. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • A Token Meter issue
  • Approved feature needs diagnosis
  • Implementation in the repository

Example prompts

  • “/token-meter-development”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read specs/AGENTS.md, the relevant implementation and tests, the task envelope,
  2. Confirm this role owns tracked-file writes. Another writer must hand off before
  3. For a product or technical design decision, complete the approved design gate.
  4. REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:test-driven-development. Write a focused
  5. Run relevant self-checks without representing them as independent verification.
  6. Reinspect callers, public projections, platform behavior, packaging, documentation,

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4ff456b. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Token Meter Development loads about 857 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 31 tokens; SKILL.md has 433 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~31
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~857

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.

Token Meter Development

Purpose

Diagnose unexplained behavior or implement an approved Token Meter change as the single writer for the assigned worktree. Return evidence; do not certify readiness.

Select the mode

Diagnosis-only

Use when the envelope does not authorize implementation. Reproduce the symptom when practical, trace the actual execution and data path, distinguish observed facts from inference, and identify the smallest credible cause.

REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:systematic-debugging for failures or unexpected behavior.

Return cause, evidence, uncertainty, affected surfaces, options, and the exact next approval needed. Diagnosis-only mode prohibits tracked-file edits.

Standard implementation

Use for standard or high-risk work only with explicit implementation authority and approved acceptance criteria.

  1. Read specs/AGENTS.md, the relevant implementation and tests, the task envelope, and current dirty-tree inventory.
  2. Confirm this role owns tracked-file writes. Another writer must hand off before editing the same worktree.
  3. For a product or technical design decision, complete the approved design gate.
  4. REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:test-driven-development. Write a focused regression test, observe the expected failure, implement the smallest complete change, and observe the focused pass.
  5. Run relevant self-checks without representing them as independent verification.
  6. Reinspect callers, public projections, platform behavior, packaging, documentation, and installed-runtime effects implicated by the diff.

Low-risk fast path

Use the low-risk fast path only when the coordinator names it explicitly and every eligibility condition in .agents/workflow/review-policy.yaml remains true. The envelope must name one allowed change kind and evidence for every eligibility condition. This is a separate mode: follow the common input and ownership checks in steps 1-2 above, then run only the focused checks named in the envelope and git diff --check. Do not inherit the standard design, TDD, consumer-scan, independent tester/reviewer, full-suite, browser, native, installation, or live-runtime steps unless the focused acceptance criteria require them. Record what was not run.

Escalate to the standard route before continuing if eligibility is uncertain, scope expands, an unexpected failure appears, a cross-surface consumer is implicated, or acceptance depends on runtime behavior. Do not stretch the fast path to finish work that no longer qualifies.

Do not modify or discard unrelated changes. Do not patch only the staged runtime. Change source first; installation and live checks belong to the verification route.

Developer result

Return:

  • Status and current head commit or explicit uncommitted state.
  • Files changed, owner, and reason for each.
  • Reproduction and red/green test evidence.
  • Commands run with outcomes.
  • Claimed behavior and affected risk categories.
  • Unverified behavior, blockers, and recommended next state.

Implementation approval does not authorize commit, push, Slack or GitHub writes, review requests, merge, deployment, or self-certification. The coordinator routes the result to independent testing and review.
