  • Getting started

What it does

Swamp Getting Started is an agent skill from swamp-club/swamp. Interactive getting-started walkthrough for new swamp users. Guides through understanding the user's goals, creating and running a first model, inspecting output, and choosing next steps. Uses a state-machine checklist with verification at each step. Triggers on "getting started", "get started", "new to swamp", "first time", "tutorial", "walkthrough", "onboarding", "how do I start", "what do I do first", "quickstart", "quick start", "hello world", "first model", "just installed swamp", "show me how swamp works"…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `evals/trigger_evals.json` and `references/tracks.md`).

It sits in Development. The repository describes itself as: Stinemates, Watson, Adam, Mahir, Paul.

When your agent uses it

  • Getting started
  • What do I do first
  • Just installed swamp
  • Show me how swamp works

Example prompts

  • “getting started”
  • “get started”
  • “new to swamp”
  • “/swamp-getting-started”

Requirements

  • A credential in SWAMP_API_KEY
  • A credential in SWAMP_SIGNIN_TOKEN

Workflow steps

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

  1. swamp extension search --json — prefer @swamp/* official
  2. If an extension matches: swamp extension pull
  3. swamp model type search --json — check local/installed types
  4. Extend an existing type if it covers the domain but lacks the method you need
  5. If nothing exists, offer a custom extension via the swamp skill (extension

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1b5a295. 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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • SWAMP_API_KEY
    • SWAMP_SIGNIN_TOKEN

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Swamp Getting Started loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 150 tokens; SKILL.md has 621 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~150
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.4k

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 621 words (~1,275 tokens).

“A state machine. Each state gates the next — do not advance until the current state's Verify passes. If Verify fails, run On Failure and re-verify. If unsure a subcommand or flag exists, run swamp --help rather than guessing.”
