At a glance

Edits an existing Warp tab config TOML file in place from a plain-language request, keeping its structure and checking it against the tab-configs schema.

  • Works in 6 steps: Read the existing tab config file before… → Understand the requested edit. → If important details are missing or… → …
  • Changing the commands or directories in an existing Warp tab config
  • SKILL.md covers Required context and Workflow
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

This skill modifies a Warp tab config that already exists, whether you name it or have it open in Warp. The agent reads the current file first, works out the requested change and checks it against the `tab-configs` skill, which supplies the schema, validation rules, examples and common layouts. When a change touches layout, commands, parameters or `on_close` behavior and the request is ambiguous, it asks you before editing rather than guessing.

It edits the config that belongs to your current Warp build or channel instead of assuming one fixed base directory, keeps the file valid, preserves your existing structure and naming unless the change forces a restructure, and finishes with a brief note on what changed.

When your agent uses it

  • Changing the commands or directories in an existing Warp tab config
  • Adjusting the layout of a tab config you have open in Warp
  • Editing the on_close behavior of a tab config

Example prompts

  • “Change the startup command in my api_dev tab config so it uses the staging environment.”
  • “Update this tab config so it opens in ~/work/website instead of my home folder.”
  • “Edit the on_close behavior in my notes tab config.”

Requirements

  • Warp terminal, with the companion `tab-configs` skill available

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read the existing tab config file before making changes.
  2. Understand the requested edit.
  3. If important details are missing or ambiguous, use the ask_user_question tool before editing. Do not guess about layout changes, command…
  4. Make sure you are editing the tab config that belongs to the user's current Warp build/channel rather than assuming a single hardcoded…
  5. Preserve the user's existing structure and naming where possible unless the requested change requires restructuring.
  6. Briefly explain what changed.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 325d4d4. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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

Warp Tab Config Editor loads about 291 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 130 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~55
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~291

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.

name
update-tab-config
description
Update existing Warp tab config TOML files from natural-language edit requests. Use when the user wants to modify a tab config that already exists or when editing a tab config file already open in Warp.

update-tab-config

Update an existing Warp tab config in place.

Required context

  • Use the tab-configs skill as the canonical source of truth for:
    • schema details
    • validation rules
    • examples
    • common layout patterns

Workflow

  1. Read the existing tab config file before making changes.
  2. Understand the requested edit.
  3. If important details are missing or ambiguous, use the ask_user_question tool before editing. Do not guess about layout changes, command changes, parameters, or on_close behavior.
  4. Make sure you are editing the tab config that belongs to the user's current Warp build/channel rather than assuming a single hardcoded base directory, then update it so it remains valid according to the tab-configs schema.
  5. Preserve the user's existing structure and naming where possible unless the requested change requires restructuring.
  6. Briefly explain what changed.
