What it does

Tools Studio Bench is an agent skill from VectorSpaceLab/AREX-Skill. Use for AutoGen developer tooling maintenance: AutoGen Studio, AG Bench, Magentic-One CLI, pyautogen proxy compatibility, CLI help checks, safe benchmark/service planning, and dependency/version boundary decisions.

Its SKILL.md is about 910 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/agbench.md`, `references/compatibility.md` and `references/magentic-one-cli.md`).

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering Building AI agents. It works with Docker. The repository describes itself as: A Skill Library for Automated Machine Learning.

When your agent uses it

  • AutoGen developer tooling maintenance: AutoGen Studio
  • Magentic-One CLI
  • Pyautogen proxy compatibility
  • CLI help checks

Example prompts

  • “/tools-studio-bench”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Docker

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Identify the requested tool package and current installed AutoGen library versions.
  2. Check Python version and package dependency ranges before installing any tool into an existing environment.
  3. If Studio or Magentic-One CLI conflicts with modern 0.7.x AutoGen libraries, propose a separate environment pinned to the tool’s supported…
  4. For AG Bench, start with agbench --help, agbench run --help, agbench lint --help, and configuration review; do not run tasks until Docker…
  5. For pyautogen, treat current releases as a proxy for autogen-agentchat; pin pyautogen~=0.2.0 only for legacy 0.2-style code.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ac3fe1a. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python

    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

Tools Studio Bench loads about 910 tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 58 tokens; SKILL.md has 389 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~58
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~910
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~5.1k

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); the scripts in this folder 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 389 words (~910 tokens).

“Use this sub-skill when a task involves AutoGen developer tools rather than application code: autogenstudio, agbench, m1 / Magentic-One CLI, pyautogen, package metadata checks, CLI availability, benchmark planning, or dependency conflicts between tool packages and installed AutoGen libraries.”
