At a glance

Normalize unknown or loosely typed data at boundaries with Effect Schema, named guards, or typed adapters.

  • Lint flags double casts
  • SKILL.md covers Fix Shape, Good and Bad
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Inline object assertions

What it does

Wrdn Effect Schema Boundaries is an agent skill from UsefulSoftwareCo/executor. Normalize unknown or loosely typed data at boundaries with Effect Schema, named guards, or typed adapters. Use when lint flags double casts, inline object assertions, unknown shape probing, or ad hoc property checks on unknown values.

Its SKILL.md is about 390 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: The missing integration layer for AI agents. Let them call any OpenAPI / MCP / GraphQL / custom js functions in secure environment. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Lint flags double casts
  • Inline object assertions
  • Unknown shape probing
  • Ad hoc property checks on unknown values

Example prompts

  • “/wrdn-effect-schema-boundaries”

Requirements

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

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 27dccb8. 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:

    • Read
    • Grep
    • Glob
    • Bash

    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 typescript).

    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

Wrdn Effect Schema Boundaries loads about 392 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 66 tokens; SKILL.md has 101 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~66
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~392

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Read, Grep, Glob, Bash

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.

You fix one pattern: domain code is asserting or probing an unknown shape instead of parsing it once at the boundary.

Fix Shape

  • Prefer Schema.decodeUnknownEffect(MySchema)(value) for untrusted input.
  • Prefer Schema.decodeUnknownEffect(Schema.fromJsonString(MySchema))(text) or Schema.decodeUnknownOption(Schema.parseJson())(text) for JSON strings.
  • Keep domain code typed after the decode; do not keep unknown and probe it repeatedly.
  • Replace JSON.parse, value as string, as unknown as X, as Record<string, unknown>, inline object assertions, "field" in value, and Reflect.get with a schema, typed adapter, or named guard.
  • A named guard is acceptable only when parsing is not the right abstraction and the guard has a precise return type.

Good

ts
const ParsedConfig = Schema.Struct({
  endpoint: Schema.String,
});

const config = yield * Schema.decodeUnknownEffect(ParsedConfig)(raw);
ts
const config = yield * Schema.decodeUnknownEffect(Schema.fromJsonString(ParsedConfig))(rawText);

Bad

ts
const config = raw as unknown as { endpoint: string };
ts
const config = JSON.parse(rawText) as { endpoint: string };
ts
const pattern = updated.pattern as string;
