Setup Test Stores

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Maestro setup is missing
• .env.local points at an expired store
• A clean store is wanted

Example prompts

• “/setup-test-stores”

Requirements

• A credential in MAESTRO_WOO_LAB_CONSUMER_KEY
• A credential in MAESTRO_WOO_CONSUMER_KEY
• Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read, mcp__context-a8c__context-a8c-load-provider, mcp__context-a8c__context-a8c-execute-tool

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Make sure the WordPress.com account is available. The script needs a test account
2. 2Check whether setup is already usable. If .maestro/.env.local exists, probe the
3. 3Provision two sites. The lab store, and a WooCommerce site without Jetpack for
4. 4Fetch their passwords.
5. 5Configure the stores. Pass the passwords through the environment so they never land
6. 6Report the store URL and blog ID. Do not print any credential.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 309d0f5. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

  • Bash
  • Read
  • mcp__context-a8c__context-a8c-load-provider
  • mcp__context-a8c__context-a8c-execute-tool

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • curl

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

• Network

  No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use curl, 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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

  • MAESTRO_WOO_LAB_WPCOM_PASSWORD
  • JN_PASSWORD
  • MAESTRO_WOO_LAB_CONSUMER_KEY
  • MAESTRO_WOO_CONSUMER_KEY
  • MAESTRO_WOO_LAB_CONSUMER_SECRET
  • MAESTRO_WOO_CONSUMER_SECRET

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

Context cost

Setup Test Stores loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 553 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~82

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.4k

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.

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.
