installing

An installation guide for downloading community agents from the Poke Gate repository. It explains the command that saves an agent, prepares its environment-variable template, and asks for any required secrets.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to install a named Poke Gate agent, configure its environment variables, and run it once to test the installation.
Why use it?
It makes agent setup repeatable and helps configure required environment values without overwriting existing configuration.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

npx agentmods add agents/f/poke-gate/installing
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/f/poke-gate
Per session 0 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 395 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

installing scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Installing Agents

You can download community agents from the Poke Gate repository with a single command.

Install an agent

npx poke-gate agent get <name>

For example:

npx poke-gate agent get beeper

This does three things:

  1. Downloads the agent script from GitHub to ~/.config/poke-gate/agents/
  2. Downloads the env template (if one exists)
  3. Prompts you to fill in env variables interactively

Interactive env setup

If the agent needs secrets, you'll be prompted:

Fetching agent "beeper" from GitHub...
  Saved: ~/.config/poke-gate/agents/beeper.1h.js

  This agent needs 1 env variable(s):

  BEEPER_TOKEN (Find it in Beeper Desktop > Settings > API): █

  Saved: ~/.config/poke-gate/agents/.env.beeper

  Test it: npx poke-gate run-agent beeper

The prompt parses the .env template, identifies placeholder values, and asks you for real ones. Comments from the template are shown as hints.

Test after installing

Always test the agent before relying on it:

npx poke-gate run-agent beeper

Existing env files

If you already have a .env.<name> file, it won't be overwritten. You'll see:

.env.beeper already exists, skipped.

Browse available agents

See all community agents at:

Install via macOS app

You can also manage agents through the macOS app's Agents window — browse, edit, and create agents with a built-in syntax-highlighted editor.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

installing is an agent published in the GitHub repository f/poke-gate (81 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 395 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
