Automated summary

This skill helps locate and run a project's local recipe runtime, or recommend the minimal installation of the @farmslot/recipe-harness package when no runner exists.

Strengths

  • Discovers the project-owned recipe command first before suggesting alternatives
  • Favors dry-run and schema validation before any live execution
  • Works without the full Farmslot framework, Gateway, slots, or pool files
  • Reports back the command run, exit status, artifacts written, and next install step

Limitations

  • Assumes shell access and the allowed tools (rg, node, npm, yarn, pnpm, farmslot-recipe)
  • Does not cover installing or configuring the broader Farmslot framework beyond the harness
  • Stops with an install recommendation rather than improvising a command when no runner is present
When to use it

Use it when you need to run or validate a local recipe in a project, or check whether a recipe runtime is already available.

When not to use it

Avoid it when the task requires the full Farmslot framework, slot management, or Gateway-based orchestration.

Security analysis

Caution
Quality score82/100

The skill is intended for legitimate local recipe discovery, validation, and execution, and it includes guardrails such as preferring dry-runs and avoiding direct state mutation. However, its allowed Bash and package-manager scopes can install dependencies and run project-defined commands, so it carries moderate execution risk rather than being purely read-only.

Findings
  • •Allows package-manager commands (npm/yarn/pnpm) that can install and execute third-party packages over the network.
  • •Allows running `farmslot-recipe` and project recipe commands, which may execute project code or mutate application state if live execution is used.
  • •Trusts locally discovered recipe commands; no explicit sandboxing or approval gate is described beyond dry-run/validation preference.

Recipe Harness

Use the local recipe runtime when one exists, or recommend the smallest install path when it does not.

Workflow

  1. Find the project-owned recipe command first.
  2. If no command exists, check for @farmslot/recipe-harness or an app-specific harness package.
  3. Before authoring, inspect the closest recipes with farmslot-recipe run --list and farmslot-recipe run <id> --describe, then inspect declared actions only if no recipe fits. Prefer project discovery commands; otherwise read only the relevant manifest entries and examples.
  4. Run dry-run or schema validation before live execution when available.
  5. Record artifact paths and validation output.
  6. If no runner exists, stop with a concrete install recommendation.

Hard Rules

  • Do not invent runner commands.
  • Do not require Farmslot Gateway, pool files, slots, Command Center, or Companion for first use.
  • Do not bypass project fixtures or user-journey validation by directly mutating app state.

Output

Return the command run, exit status, artifacts written, and any next install step.

From the file to a first result

The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.

View the source and supporting files

This download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.

1. Download the file

Download SKILL.md

From the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/recipe-harness-mrzxupjr/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.

Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.

mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/recipe-harness-mrzxupjr' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/recipe-harness-mrzxupjr/download' --output '.skill-downloads/recipe-harness-mrzxupjr/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/recipe-harness-mrzxupjr/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/recipe-harness-mrzxupjr/SKILL.md'

2. Check prerequisites

Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.

Environment declared by the author: Claude, Codex, Cursor, and Markdown skill runners with shell access

Tools declared by the author (check availability in your agent): Read Bash(rg:*) Bash(node:*) Bash(npm:*) Bash(yarn:*) Bash(pnpm:*) Bash(farmslot-recipe:*)

No recognized prerequisites section in this file. This does not mean it is self-contained: libraries, tools and access requirements may be mentioned elsewhere in the content or source repository.

The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.

3. Load the skill

After inspection, copy the complete folder into your project using one of the commands below, then open a new tool session. The command stops if a folder with the same name already exists: compare the files before replacing it.

Claude Code
test -f '.skill-downloads/recipe-harness-mrzxupjr/SKILL.md' && test -s '.skill-downloads/recipe-harness-mrzxupjr/SKILL.md' && mkdir -p '.claude/skills' && test ! -e '.claude/skills/recipe-harness' && cp -R '.skill-downloads/recipe-harness-mrzxupjr' '.claude/skills/recipe-harness'

OpenSkills

OpenSkills must already be installed. The local install/read procedure is checked with OpenSkills 1.5.0, which requires Node.js ≥ 20.6.0. Catalog slugs are not resolved automatically.

Official OpenSkills installation
openskills install './.skill-downloads/recipe-harness-mrzxupjr'

openskills read 'recipe-harness-mrzxupjr'

Reading should display the installed file content and its base directory. It does not run the skill or install its dependencies.

For an agent that reads AGENTS.md, then sync the index. This command changes AGENTS.md: review the diff before using it.

openskills sync

Manual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.

4. Try a first task

Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:

Read .skill-downloads/recipe-harness-mrzxupjr/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.

Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
