About this skill

Triggers is a skill in windmill-labs/windmill (18k stars). Its SKILL.md is about 801 tokens. Licence: Custom licence.

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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Triggers loads about 801 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 11 tokens; SKILL.md has 345 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~11
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~801

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 345 words (~801 tokens).

“Triggers allow external events to invoke your scripts and flows.”

Questions about Triggers

How do I install Triggers in Claude Code?

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

How do I install Triggers in Codex?

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

Can I use Triggers 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 triggers -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/triggers, .gemini/skills/triggers, .github/skills/triggers and .opencode/skills/triggers in your project.

What does Triggers need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Triggers needs the command-line tools its instructions call (git).

Does Triggers access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
