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 (its code samples are kotlin).
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

Create Input Chain loads about 511 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 58 tokens; SKILL.md has 125 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: ~511

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.

Create Input Chain

Quick Start

Define a chain inside bot.setFunctionality { }. Set bot.inputListener[user] = "id" to start. The chain advances automatically after each step.

kotlin

bot.setFunctionality {
    onCommand("/start") {
        message { "What's your name?" }.send(user, bot)
        bot.inputListener[user] = "conversation"
    }
    inputChain("conversation") {
        message { "Nice to meet you, ${message.text}!" }.send(update.getUser(), bot)
        message { "What's your favorite food?" }.send(update.getUser(), bot)
    }.breakIf({ message.text == "peanut butter" }) {
        message { "Oh, too bad, I'm allergic." }.send(update.getUser(), bot)
    }.andThen {
        message { "Thanks! You said: ${message.text}" }.send(update.getUser(), bot)
    }
}
bot.handleUpdates()

Structure

inputChain("id") { } — First step. Block runs when user sends a message while inputListener is "id".
andThen { } — Next step. Chain advances to this step after the previous block runs.
breakIf(condition, repeat = true, block) — On current step: if condition is true, run block. If repeat = true, stay on current step (user can re-enter). If repeat = false, do not re-register.

Context

Inside each block, ProcessingContext / ActivityCtx provides:

update — the ProcessedUpdate
message — shortcut for message content (when applicable)
update.getUser() — user reference

When to Use

Input chain: Simple linear flows, no typed state, quick setup
Wizard: Complex validation, typed state, Transition.JumpTo/Retry, state managers
