What it does
Connect is an agent skill from suboss87/FDEOps. Configure or diagnose access to a requested source using available host tools. Use for source MCP setup; source configuration needs no engagement record and credentials stay with the host.
Its SKILL.md is about 350 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 9 other files, including reference files (for example `.fde-generated.json`, `agents/openai.yaml` and `references/connect.md`).
It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Forward deployed engineering skills for AI coding agents. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Source MCP setup
- Source configuration needs no engagement record and credentials stay with the host
Example prompts
- “/connect”
Workflow steps
2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Read the task context contract.
- Read the method.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ed184c8. 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
Connect loads about 354 tokens when it runs, and up to ~8.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 49 tokens; SKILL.md has 146 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

connect
<!-- Generated by bin/generate-skills.js; edit the canonical references and catalog. -->Purpose
Source setup guidance and an honest capability check.
Before investigating or acting:
- Read the task context contract.
- Read the method.
Load further references only when the task needs them. Everything linked is included in this skill; no other skill pack is required.
Principles
- Source configuration and capability checks do not require an engagement record. Use available host tools and source documentation. Any later record staging or application follows the ingest method and its binding and confirmation requirements.
- If called by @fde, reuse its current sanitized packet and scope. Do not restart setup, discovery or questions already answered.
- The task context contract controls persistence and authority in both modes. Preserve unknowns and distinguish implementation, verification, deployment and acceptance.
- Use the customer's repository instructions and available tools. Report a missing capability or unrun check honestly; do not claim that installing a skill provisions infrastructure.

How many tokens does Connect use?
About 354 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 1.4k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 8k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
