At a glance

This skill should be used when the user asks to "install pikiclaw", "build and install", "deploy locally", "update local binary", "release", or "publish".

  • Works in 2 steps: Run the release script → Write release notes
  • Asks to install pikiclaw
  • SKILL.md covers 1. Run the release script, 2. Write release notes and Notes
  • Calls npm, gh and git; reaches github.com

What it does

Install is an agent skill from xiaotonng/pikiloom. This skill should be used when the user asks to "install pikiclaw", "build and install", "deploy locally", "update local binary", "release", or "publish".

Its SKILL.md is about 460 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. It works with npm and GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Put the world's smartest AI agents & plugins in your pocket. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asks to install pikiclaw
  • Build and install
  • Update local binary

Example prompts

  • “install pikiclaw”
  • “build and install”
  • “deploy locally”
  • “/install”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Run the release script
  2. Write release notes

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ad3bdb8. 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:

    • npm
    • gh
    • git

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • github.com

    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

Install loads about 464 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 41 tokens; SKILL.md has 172 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~41
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~464

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.

Install & Publish pikiclaw

1. Run the release script

bash
./scripts/release.sh

This script handles: version bump -> build -> npm link -> verify -> git commit/tag/push -> wait for CI.

If the script fails, diagnose and fix the issue, then re-run it.

2. Write release notes

After CI creates the GitHub Release, update it with meaningful release notes:

  1. Run git log v<previous-version>..v<new-version> --oneline --no-merges to collect all commits since the last release.
  2. Summarize changes into categories (use only relevant ones, skip empty categories):
    • New Features - new user-facing functionality
    • Improvements - enhancements to existing features
    • Bug Fixes - resolved issues
    • Internal - refactors, dependency updates, CI changes
  3. Write concise, user-friendly descriptions (not raw commit messages).
  4. Update the GitHub Release using:
    gh release edit v<new-version> --notes "$(cat <<'EOF'
    ## What's Changed
    
    ### New Features
    - description of feature
    
    ### Bug Fixes
    - description of fix
    
    **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/xiaotonng/pikiclaw/compare/v<previous-version>...v<new-version>
    EOF
    )"
  5. Verify the release notes look correct: gh release view v<new-version>.

Notes

  • npm link creates a global symlink - rebuild with npm run build after code changes.
  • The files field in package.json controls what gets published: dist/, LICENSE, README.md.
  • CI pipeline (.github/workflows/release.yml): builds, publishes to npm, and creates GitHub Release on v* tag push.
  • To uninstall locally: npm unlink -g pikiclaw.
