What it does

Termdock Ast is an agent skill from termdock/termdock-issues. Use the Termdock AST API to locate symbols, dependencies, callers/callees, or impact before exploring unknown code. Skip when the user gives an exact file path or only needs a literal string search.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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 Development. It works with macOS. The repository describes itself as: Let AI write the code — you own the view. Termdock: the AI-native terminal for macOS & Windows. Claude Code / Codex / Gemini / GitLab Duo agent sessions, diff impact analysis…

When your agent uses it

  • Gives an exact file path
  • Only needs a literal string search

Example prompts

  • “/termdock-ast”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Get Workspace ID (Required First)
  2. Choose Your Query Type
  3. Search Symbols
  4. File Dependencies
  5. Who Calls This?
  6. What Does This Call?
  7. Impact Analysis

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 596f1d5. 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:

    • curl
    • jq
    • rg

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use curl, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Termdock Ast loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 53 tokens; SKILL.md has 359 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~53
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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 359 words (~1,213 tokens).
