At a glance

Makes a repository Superset-ready by writing .superset/config.json with setup, teardown and run scripts, then proving it with a real throwaway workspace.

  • Works in 3 steps: Inspect the repo → Author .superset/config.json → Verify for real
  • Preparing a repo so new Superset workspaces boot configured
  • SKILL.md covers 1. Inspect the repo, 2. Author .superset/config.json and 3. Verify for real
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

The goal is that every new workspace, an isolated git worktree, comes up with dependencies installed, env files present and services reachable without manual steps. The agent inspects the repo first: the package manager and install command, which lockfiles reveal (bun, pnpm, yarn, npm, cargo, uv), env files, which are usually gitignored and so must be copied from the main checkout or generated from `.env.example`, services such as docker-compose and databases with their dev command and ports, and monorepo layout.

It then writes `.superset/config.json`, the file that wires in lifecycle scripts; a bare `setup.sh` is not picked up. Setup, teardown and run are arrays of shell commands executed in the worktree. Setup should be idempotent and fast, secrets are copied at setup time and never committed, and an individual user can extend scripts through a gitignored `config.local.json`. You approve the proposed files before writing, and the job is finished only when `superset workspaces create` yields a test workspace whose setup terminal completes cleanly, after which it is deleted.

When your agent uses it

  • Preparing a repo so new Superset workspaces boot configured
  • Fixing new workspaces that lack node_modules
  • Fixing a missing .env or a setup script that never runs in workspaces

Example prompts

  • “Set up this repo for Superset so new workspaces install dependencies and copy my .env.”
  • “My setup script isn't running in new workspaces, so find out why.”
  • “Add a teardown script that stops the docker-compose services when a workspace is deleted.”

Requirements

  • The Superset CLI
  • A repository with an install command and env files
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash(superset:*)

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Inspect the repo
  2. Author .superset/config.json
  3. Verify for real

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2e47842. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash(superset:*)

    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 json).

    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

Superset Project Setup loads about 577 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 109 tokens; SKILL.md has 230 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~109
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~577

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:3
    workspaces don't have node_modules", "my .env is missing in workspaces", "setup script isn't running").
  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:17
    - Env files: `.env` is usually gitignored, so new worktrees need it copied from the main checkout or generated from `.en

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 230 words (~577 tokens).

“Goal: every new workspace (isolated git worktree) for this repo comes up ready, with dependencies installed, env present, and services reachable, without manual steps.”
