creating-actions

creating-actions is a skill for Claude Code from Lykhoyda/rn-dev-agent. It costs 127 tokens per session (3,968 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for saving a tested Maestro user-interface flow as a reusable action. Maestro is a tool that describes app interactions, such as tapping buttons and entering text, in YAML files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to save verified app journeys for later replay, including login, setup, navigation, locale or theme changes, and test-data preparation.
Why use it?
It avoids repeating the same login, setup, or navigation steps by hand. It also helps prevent duplicate actions for flows that already exist.

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

creating-actions 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 22d ago.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 225 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

creating-actions — Author a Reusable Maestro Action

An action is a parameterised Maestro flow at <project>/.rn-agent/actions/<id>.yaml with an M7 metadata header, replayable via $rn-dev-agent:run-action or cdp_run_action (auto-repair-aware). A well-authored action turns a ~minutes interactive walk into a ~seconds deterministic replay. Authoring one well means: dedup first, ground every selector in evidence, design the flow as an ASCII diagram before writing YAML, validate, then replay to promote.

When to Use

  • A verified flow is worth replaying: login, navigation prologue, multi-step setup, locale/theme switching, data seeding.
  • $rn-dev-agent:test-feature verification passed and the walk should be persisted.
  • The user asks to make a flow replayable / save an action.

When NOT to author an action:

  • A one-off check — use maestro_run with inlineYaml and throw it away.
  • An existing action already covers the flow — extend or parameterise it instead of forking a near-duplicate.
  • The flow spans two apps — actions are single-appId by contract.

Step 0 — Scan the Inventory First (dedup)

Before authoring anything, check what already exists:

Resolve <package-root> from this exact skill's SKILL.md path (../.. from the skill directory), then invoke the selected package by separately quoted argv. Never scan caches or use a launcher-only environment variable:

node <package-root>/rn-dev-agent-core/dist/learned-actions.js --json --section b \
  --workspace-root <workspace> --memory-cwd <workspace> --filter <one keyword value>

(or $rn-dev-agent:list-learned-actions <keyword>). Listing is read-only and grants no replay authority: if a match covers the goal, run the Step 6 ownership pre-flight first — call rn_session({action: "status"}), and if state is blocked, stop and follow recoveryRequirement.nextAction verbatim instead of replaying. Only then replay the match. If a near-match exists (same flow, hardcoded values), parameterise THAT action with ${VAR} placeholders rather than creating a sibling — duplicate actions rot independently and split the repair history.

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.
