About this skill

Raw App is a skill in windmill-labs/windmill (18k stars). Its SKILL.md is about 7.6k tokens. Licence: Custom licence.

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Settle the setup
  2. Run the command yourself
  3. Offer the visual preview

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f40eea2. 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 typescript, yaml, bash, python and sql).

    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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • WM_TOKEN

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Raw App loads about 7.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 10 tokens; SKILL.md has 3,782 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~10
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~7.6k

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: warnings

The automated check found patterns that need a careful read before installing.

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 3,782 words (~7,599 tokens).

“This guide covers raw apps from the terminal: scaffolding via wmill app new, the on-disk layout, and the file-based conventions the CLI uses to represent backend runnables and data table configuration. The platform shape (how a raw app behaves at…”

Questions about Raw App

How do I install Raw App in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add windmill-labs/windmill --skill raw-app -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (system_prompts/auto-generated/skills/raw-app in windmill-labs/windmill) into .claude/skills/raw-app in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Raw App in Codex?

Run `npx skills add windmill-labs/windmill --skill raw-app -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (system_prompts/auto-generated/skills/raw-app in windmill-labs/windmill) into .agents/skills/raw-app in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Raw App in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add windmill-labs/windmill --skill raw-app -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/raw-app, .gemini/skills/raw-app, .github/skills/raw-app and .opencode/skills/raw-app in your project.

What does Raw App need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Raw App needs credentials named WM_TOKEN.

Does Raw App access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Raw App safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md flagged 1 warning(s): contains instruction-override wording (e.g. “without asking the user”). Read the flagged lines before installing; the check is not a guarantee either way.

What licence does Raw App use?

Raw App has a licence file (the repository's licence) that doesn't match a standard licence. Read it on GitHub before reusing the skill.

How many tokens does Raw App use?

About 7.6k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 30k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
