At a glance
Create a new golem Shiny application. An agent skill from ThinkR-open/golem.
- Works in 4 steps: Use golem::create_golem(name) to create… → The name should be the basename of the… → Never create the folder yourself - golem… → …
- SKILL.md covers Key Steps, Important Rules, Module Naming Convention and Testing, plus 1 more section
- Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
What it does
Golem Create Golem is an agent skill from ThinkR-open/golem. Create a new golem Shiny application. Triggers on: - "create a golem app" - "create a shiny app with golem" - "initialize a golem app" Do not trigger on: - when building Shiny applications without using the golem package
Its SKILL.md is about 470 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: A Framework for Building Robust Shiny Apps.
Example prompts
- “create a golem app”
- “create a shiny app with golem”
- “initialize a golem app”
- “/golem-create-golem”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Use golem::create_golem(name) to create the application
- The name should be the basename of the desired folder, or one provided by the user
- Never create the folder yourself - golem will do it
- After creation, guide the user to run Rscript -e "golem::run_dev()" from within the new app directory
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit fed0c3c. 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
Golem Create Golem loads about 473 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 210 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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 210 words (~473 tokens).
“You are helping a user create a new golem Shiny application. Follow the guidelines in the CLAUDE.md file from the golem-claude repository.”
