At a glance

A skill your agent uses when setting up a repository that uses the Effect Typescript library.

  • Works in 2 steps: Install effect → Update AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md
  • Setting up a repository that uses the Effect Typescript library
  • Calls pnpm

What it does

Effect TS is an agent skill from try-works/role-model. Use this skill when setting up a repository that uses the Effect Typescript library.

Its SKILL.md is about 220 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `PROVENANCE.md`).

It sits in Agent Workflows. It works with TypeScript. The repository describes itself as: role-model is a protocol for assigning the right model for the right job. Use local and cloud AI together, or route between several cloud providers.

When your agent uses it

  • Setting up a repository that uses the Effect Typescript library

Example prompts

  • “/effect-ts”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Install effect
  2. Update AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit de1c04a. 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:

    • pnpm

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pnpm, 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

Effect TS loads about 218 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 24 tokens; SKILL.md has 45 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~24
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~218

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 45 words (~218 tokens).

“Use the users preferred package manager:”
