What it does

Upgrade Starter Kit is an agent skill from workadventure/map-starter-kit. Upgrade a WorkAdventure map repository to the latest version of the map-starter-kit (github.com/workadventure/map-starter-kit) - refreshes package.json dependencies, vite/tsconfig/build config, CI workflow and other scaffolding without touching map content. Use when the user asks to upgrade or update the starter kit, refresh the map build tooling, or bump WorkAdventure map dependencies.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k 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 Development, covering Project scaffolding. It works with npm, GitHub, TypeScript and Vite. The repository describes itself as: A starter kit to help you get started developing your own maps for WorkAdventure.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to upgrade
  • Update the starter kit
  • Refresh the map build tooling
  • Bump WorkAdventure map dependencies

Example prompts

  • “/upgrade-starter-kit”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

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

  1. Preflight
  2. Self-update (at most once per run)
  3. Find the baseline and read what changed
  4. Diff the scaffolding
  5. package.json
  6. Install and verify
  7. Report

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1143646. 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
    • node
    • npm

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git and npm, 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

Upgrade Starter Kit loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 102 tokens; SKILL.md has 609 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~102
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:72
    | `.env` | Add **new keys only**, with upstream's comments. Never change a value the user already set |

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 609 words (~1,320 tokens).

“Maps are created from map-starter-kit as a GitHub template, so there is usually no shared git history with upstream: git merge-base will not work. The anchor is the version field of package.json, which upstream bumps when the scaffolding changes.”
