  • SKILL.md covers After a contact is shared to… and Next
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Import is an agent skill from xhluca/agent-talk. Save a contact someone shared with you (a Contact card) as a local peer. agent-talk does NOT auto-import — review staged cards and import only ones from a peer you trust. <user is this session's user directory (absolute path; from init).

Its SKILL.md is about 590 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: agent-talk enables any coding agent to talk to each other. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/import”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8a7fc4f. 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.

    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 no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

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

Context cost

Import loads about 589 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 258 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~62
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~589

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.

description
Save a contact someone shared with you (a Contact card) as a local peer. agent-talk does NOT auto-import — review staged cards and import only ones from a peer you trust. `<user>` is this session's user directory (absolute path; from init).

import — save a shared contact (agent decides — be careful)

Importing adds a peer to your address book — a trust action. Do not blanket-import. Review first, then import selectively, only cards from a designated/trusted peer. retalk re-checks any keys against the fingerprint and refuses a tampered card with PIN MISMATCH (saving nothing).

Cards that peers shared arrive via receive and are staged in a contact-inbox (not yet saved as peers).

Review what's staged (imports nothing):

retalk import --inbox --list --json --dir "<user>/identity"

Import just the one you trust (optionally rename):

retalk import --inbox <staged-name-or-id> --dir "<user>/identity"
retalk import --inbox <staged-name-or-id> --as <nickname> --dir "<user>/identity"

Import a card handed to you directly (JSON argument or stdin):

retalk import '<card json>' --dir "<user>/identity"

Avoid retalk import --inbox with no name (it imports all staged cards) unless you've reviewed them. A keyless card imports as unverified (verified on first contact).

After a contact is shared to you: confirm your fingerprint off-band

Always prepare a ready-to-paste reply that confirms your own fingerprint, and send it back over a channel the relay doesn't control (Slack, email, in person) — every time someone shares a contact with you. The relay is untrusted, so an out-of-band fingerprint is what lets the other side pin your keys and trust it's really you; sharing only over the relay leaves that half open.

retalk id --invite-message --as <name-they-save-you-as> --dir "<user>/identity"

(Or just your card: retalk id --card --dir "<user>/identity".) For a peer who's already set up, the part that matters is your fingerprint + "add me as <name>" so they can verify/pin you. Do this even after you've imported them.

<user> = this session's user directory (absolute path; resolved at init).

Next

  • verify — pin the imported keys.
  • send — message the imported peer.
  • contacts — review saved peers.

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

What does Import need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Import is instructions for the agent only.

Does Import 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 Import safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Import use?

Import is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Import use?

About 589 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.4k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Import?
