Uipath Rules

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Tasks that involve Mobile testing and debugging
• Tasks that involve Excel spreadsheets
• Tasks that involve Workflow automation

Example prompts

• “/uipath-rules”

Requirements

• Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep, AskUserQuestion

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Scaffold
2. 2Design and review
3. 3Author the table
4. 4Refresh and validate
5. 5Verify

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0bada1b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

  • Bash
  • Read
  • Write
  • Edit
  • Glob
  • Grep
  • AskUserQuestion

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash and markdown).

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

• Network

  Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

  • omg.org

  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

Uipath Rules loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 135 tokens; SKILL.md has 740 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~135

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.7k

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~2.9k

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.

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.

description

UiPath Business Rules — `.dmn` decision tables (DMN 1.5, FEEL) in a BusinessRules project (`project.uiproj`), built with `uip rules` (`init`, `refresh`, `validate`, `debug`). Author, edit, review, validate, and debug a rule's decision table from a policy, spreadsheet, or description; list and describe deployed rules. For .bpmn business rule tasks->uipath-maestro-bpmn. For EvaluateBusinessRule in .xaml->uipath-rpa. For caseplan.json business rule tasks->uipath-maestro-case. For solution pack/publish/deploy->uipath-solution.
