Source documentation, not instructions for this website. Review permissions before running any commands.
Invoking this skill IS the request. If the user message looks empty, that is normal and expected, the task is fully specified here. Never ask what to do.
Analyzes a skill's full content, SKILL.md and any sibling files in the same directory, to find tools it references or requires, then compares against the skill's allowed-tools frontmatter to find missing entries and entries that grant nothing.
allowed-tools is permission mechanics only: an entry earns its place by removing a permission prompt the skill would otherwise hit. It is not a manifest of the tools the skill uses.
/update-allowed-tools <skill name>
/update-allowed-tools @path/to/SKILL.md
Parse argument: The argument is either a file path to a SKILL.md file, or a skill name/description. If no file path is provided, search for the skill using Glob in the current working directory (e.g., **/skills/**/<name>/SKILL.md). If there is no argument at all, run git status and target the most recently modified skill file in the working tree.
Read the skill file and separate the YAML frontmatter from the body content. Also read any other files in the same directory (sibling files referenced by or bundled with the skill).
Extract declared allowed-tools: Parse all entries under allowed-tools: in the frontmatter.
Scan all skill content (SKILL.md body + sibling files) for tool usage. Look for:
Write, Edit, Bash, WebFetch, WebSearch, and mcp__* tools.git diff, git commit, make, npm, docker, python, curl, etc.Bash(<command>:*) (e.g., git stash push needs Bash(git stash:*))/tmp/ needs Read(//tmp/**))Compare: For each tool detected in the body, check if it's covered by an entry in allowed-tools. Rules:
Glob, Grep, and Read are permission-free within the project directory. Only add read rules for files outside the project (e.g., Read(//tmp/**)).Write and Edit prompt for approval by default, inside the project too. allowed-tools grants permission rather than restricting tools, so add entries scoped to the paths the skill is meant to modify (e.g., Edit(CLAUDE.md), Write(~/.config/**)).Bash commands always need explicit Bash(<command>:*) entries.Bash(git stash:*) covers git stash push).WebSearch matches WebSearch).Skill(...), AskUserQuestion, and Agent entries grant nothing: skill invocation, asking the user, and spawning subagents never prompt by default, and where a user has gated them with ask/deny rules, a grant cannot override those rules. Never add these; remove any already present.Update the skill file: Add missing entries to the allowed-tools list in the skill's YAML frontmatter and remove entries that grant nothing, using the Edit tool. If the list ends up empty, delete the allowed-tools field. Then report what was added and removed.
Validate: Re-read the updated file to confirm YAML frontmatter remains syntactically valid (proper indentation, no duplicate entries, correct list format).

Never ask what to do. # Overview Analyzes a skill's full content, SKILL.md and any sibling files in the same directory, to find tools it references or requires, then compares against the skill's `allowed-tools` frontmatter to find missing entries and entries that grant nothing. `allowed-tools` is permission mechanics only: an entry earns its place by removing a permission prompt the skill would otherwise hit. It is not a manifest of the tools the skill uses. ## Usage ``` /update-allowed-tools <skill name> /update-allowed-tools @path/to/SKILL.md ``` ## Instructions 1. **Parse argument**: The argument is either a file path to a SKILL.md file, or a skill name/description. If no file path is provided, search for the skill using Glob in the current working directory (e.g., `**/skills/**/<name>/SKILL.md`). If there is no argument at all, run `git status` and target the most recently modified skill file in the working tree. 2. **Read the skill file** and separate the YAML frontmatter from the body content. Also read any other files in the same directory (sibling files referenced by or bundled with the skill). 3. **Extract declared allowed-tools**: Parse all entries under `allowed-tools:` in the frontmatter. 4. **Scan all skill content** (SKILL.md body + sibling files) for tool usage. Look for: - Explicit tool names that prompt by default: e.g., `Write`, `Edit`, `Bash`, `WebFetch`, `WebSearch`, and `mcp__*` tools. - Bash command patterns: e.g., `git diff`, `git commit`, `make`, `npm`, `docker`, `python`, `curl`, etc. - For Bash commands found, the required allowed-tool format is `Bash(<command>:*)` (e.g., `git stash push` needs `Bash(git stash:*)`) - For file tools with path patterns (Read, Write, Edit), note the paths referenced (e.g., `/tmp/` needs `Read(//tmp/**)`) 5. **Compare**: For each tool detected in the body, check if it's covered by an entry in `allowed-tools`. Rules: - `Glob`, `Grep`, and `Read` are permission-free within the project directory. Only add read rules for files **outside** the project (e.g., `Read(//tmp/**)`). - `Write` and `Edit` prompt for approval by default, inside the project too. `allowed-tools` grants permission rather than restricting tools, so add entries scoped to the paths the skill is meant to modify (e.g., `Edit(CLAUDE.md)`, `Write(~/.config/**)`). - `Bash` commands always need explicit `Bash(<command>:*)` entries. - A Bash pattern covers subcommands (e.g., `Bash(git stash:*)` covers `git stash push`). - Exact match counts as covered (e.g., `WebSearch` matches `WebSearch`). - `Skill(...)`, `AskUserQuestion`, and `Agent` entries grant nothing: skill invocation, asking the user, and spawning subagents never prompt by default, and where a user has gated them with ask/deny rules, a grant cannot override those rules. Never add these; remove any already present. 6. **Update the skill file**: Add missing entries to the `allowed-tools` list in the skill's YAML frontmatter and remove entries that grant nothing, using the Edit tool. If the list ends up empty, delete the `allowed-tools` field. Then report what was added and removed. 7. **Validate**: Re-read the updated file to confirm YAML frontmatter remains syntactically valid (proper indentation, no duplicate entries, correct list format).

Install targets
Codex install prompt
Install the "update-allowed-tools" agent skill from https://github.com/vinta/hal-9000/tree/main/skills/update-allowed-tools. Read its SKILL.md or equivalent instructions first, install only the files needed for this workspace, and summarize any required setup before using it. Skill purpose: Use when creating or editing a skill that uses Bash commands, file writes, or external tools and the allowed-tools frontmatter may be incomplete or carry entries that grant nothing After the install attempt, report the result to https://www.openagentskill.com/api/agent/outcome with POST JSON {"event_id":"install_<unique-id>","skill_slug":"vinta-update-allowed-tools","task":"Install update-allowed-tools","agent":"codex","outcome":"success","install_used":true}. Replace event_id with a unique value and outcome with success or failed. Report success only after the skill is installed and a minimal verification passes. Recorded instruction path: skills/update-allowed-tools/SKILL.md. Recorded revision: 3098da841921c7ba7dbeae2ae5d39d2a7e28e9d3. Confirm the source matches these instructions.
