What it does

Trace A Payment is an agent skill from superset-sh/superset. Answer a question about money that already moved in Stripe — why a charge failed, what a customer was billed, where an invoice or payout stands — by reading the object chain instead of guessing from a dashboard total. Use when the user pastes a Stripe id, asks why a payment failed, asks what a customer is paying, or wants revenue, invoice, or subscription state.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k 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 Documents & Office, covering Forms and invoices. It works with Stripe. The repository describes itself as: Superset is an agentic IDE to orchestrate 100+ coding agents in parallel. Run any agent with your own subscription.

When your agent uses it

  • The user pastes a Stripe id
  • Asks why a payment failed
  • Asks what a customer is paying
  • Subscription state

Example prompts

  • “/trace-a-payment”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): mcp__stripe__get_stripe_account_info, mcp__stripe__stripe_api_search, mcp__stripe__stripe_api_details, mcp__stripe__stripe_api_read, mcp__stripe__stripe_analytics, mcp__stripe__get_balance_summary, mcp__stripe__search_stripe_documentation

Workflow steps

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

  1. Say which account and which mode you are in
  2. Let the id prefix tell you what you are holding
  3. For a failure, read the decline, not the status
  4. Follow the chain the question actually asks about
  5. Convert amounts deliberately
  6. Answer with ids, mode, and the window

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4ec5b6e. 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:

    • mcp__stripe__get_stripe_account_info
    • mcp__stripe__stripe_api_search
    • mcp__stripe__stripe_api_details
    • mcp__stripe__stripe_api_read
    • mcp__stripe__stripe_analytics
    • mcp__stripe__get_balance_summary
    • mcp__stripe__search_stripe_documentation

    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

Trace A Payment loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 95 tokens; SKILL.md has 816 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~95
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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 816 words (~1,459 tokens).

“A Stripe answer is only as good as the objects it was read from. Every question about money that already moved has an exact object chain behind it, and the chain is short. Walk it.”
