What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ca67fe1. 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:

    • python

    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

Long Task St loads about 6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~8.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 41 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,788 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~41
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~6k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~8.6k

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 2,788 words (~6,028 tokens).

“Run cross-feature and system-wide testing after all features are implemented and passing. Per-feature ST test cases (functional, boundary, UI, security) have already been executed during each Worker cycle via long-task-feature-st. This phase focuses on what per-feature testing cannot cover: cross-feature…”
