cross-agent-install-smoke

cross-agent-install-smoke is a skill for Claude Code from wyattowalsh/agents. It costs 42 tokens per session (749 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A test utility for checking that skills can be installed consistently across different coding-agent setups. It performs a preview check and, when enabled, tests installation in a temporary home directory.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to validate skills-sync output, compare what is missing or already installed, and run a gated temporary installation smoke test.
Why use it?
It helps catch differences between agent environments without changing the live installations used by developers.

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

cross-agent-install-smoke 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 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (scripts/asset_toolkit/validate_hooks.py, scripts/check.py, scripts/dry_run.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Cross-Agent Install Smoke

Validate additive skills sync without mutating live harness installs.

Scope: Install smoke only. Do not run live apply installs unless the maintainer explicitly requests it.

Dispatch

$ARGUMENTS Action
Empty / phase1 / dry-run Run phase 1 dry-run JSON assertions
phase2 / local / smoke Run phase 2 temp-HOME smoke (requires INSTALL_SMOKE=1)
all Run phase 1, then phase 2 when gated
help Show phases, gates, and example commands

Phase 1 — Dry-Run JSON

Run the deterministic checker from the repo root:

uv run python skills/cross-agent-install-smoke/scripts/dry_run.py

Phase 1 executes the repo skills-sync dry-run command and asserts:

  • top-level keys: ok, mode, inventory_count, include_installed, agents
  • mode is dry-run
  • each agent row includes agent plus bucket fields missing, already_present, unresolved, skipped
  • bucket fields may be legacy string lists or compact objects {count, sample, truncated} (Wave 1b+ default JSON)
  • when present, optional buckets (projection_ensure, projection_blocked, store_missing, internal_projection, pin_blocked) use the same shapes

Pass criteria: script exits 0 and prints a JSON summary to stdout. Phase 1 is dry-run only — never --apply.

Phase 2 — Temp-HOME Smoke

Phase 2 is opt-in and mutates only a temporary home directory.

INSTALL_SMOKE=1 uv run python skills/cross-agent-install-smoke/scripts/local_smoke.py

The script:

  1. Refuses to run unless INSTALL_SMOKE=1
  2. Creates an isolated HOME under a temp directory
  3. Runs the repo validation command against the repo
  4. Runs a single-harness skills-sync dry-run JSON probe
  5. Cleans up the temp home

Never point phase 2 at a production home directory.

Validation Contract

uv run python skills/cross-agent-install-smoke/scripts/check.py
INSTALL_SMOKE=1 uv run python skills/cross-agent-install-smoke/scripts/check.py

What ships with it

5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
