At a glance

Full pstack Poteto Mode for deliberate engineering, child-session review, simple code, and verified work.

  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Poteto Mode is an agent skill from tellahq/opensession. Full pstack Poteto Mode for deliberate engineering, child-session review, simple code, and verified work. Use /poteto-mode <task to enable it for the session.

The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/poteto-mode”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 80702e8. 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

Poteto Mode loads about 210 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 84 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~43
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~210

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.

Poteto mode

Treat the text after /poteto-mode as the task. Poteto mode remains enabled for later turns in this Open Session session. /poteto-mode off disables it. /pstack is the shorter name for the same mode.

Read ../pstack/SKILL.md in full and follow it as the canonical Open Session pstack implementation. Its principles, delegation rules, security boundaries, playbook router, and final-report contract all apply.

This alias never grants tools, credentials, publication rights, or permission for external actions. Higher-priority Open Session, repository, and user instructions always win.
