What it does

Native Trigger is an agent skill from windmill-labs/windmill. Guidance for adding native trigger services to Windmill. Use when implementing or modifying native trigger integrations across the backend and frontend.

Its SKILL.md is about 7.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Backend & APIs. It works with Svelte. The repository describes itself as: Open-source developer platform to power your entire infra and turn scripts into webhooks, workflows and UIs. Fastest workflow engine (13x vs Airflow). Open-source alternative to…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit eab3dd5. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npm
    • cargo
    • npx

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • windmill.dev
    • oauth2.googleapis.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

Native Trigger loads about 7.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 42 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,487 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~42
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~7.9k

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,487 words (~7,912 tokens).

“This skill provides comprehensive guidance for adding new native trigger services to Windmill. Native triggers allow external services (like Nextcloud, Google Drive, etc.) to trigger Windmill scripts/flows via webhooks or push notifications.”
