What it does

Prime Agent is an agent skill from wcygan/dotfiles. Use when learning, configuring, or troubleshooting Prime Agent (PrimeIntellect-ai/prime-agent), including installation, providers, custom OpenAI-compatible models, local llama.cpp, AGENTS.md, sessions, RLM subagents, skills, background agents, autonomous runs, and official documentation lookup.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/official-docs.md`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering LLM inference and serving, Subagents and Agent instruction files. It works with llama.cpp and OpenAI. The repository describes itself as: Configuration for Development Environments.

When your agent uses it

  • Troubleshooting Prime Agent (PrimeIntellect-ai/prime-agent)
  • Including installation
  • Custom OpenAI-compatible models
  • Local llama.cpp

Example prompts

  • “/prime-agent”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Verify the installed command and version
  2. Check runtime health when the daemon or background lifecycle is involved
  3. Configure a provider. Hosted providers use /login, environment variables,
  4. Verify model discovery before launching a long task
  5. Start from the project directory. Prefer an explicit model during setup
  6. Run a read-only smoke test that verifies the working directory, project

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b385ffa. 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 (its code samples are bash and json).

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • github.com

    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

Prime Agent loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 77 tokens; SKILL.md has 729 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~77
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.4k

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 729 words (~1,779 tokens).

“Use this skill to explain or operate Prime Agent from current, official documentation. Prime Agent is an RLM-native coding and research harness built around a persistent IPython kernel, recursive subagents, durable sessions, and a local multi-process runtime.”
