setup-pstack
Skill0 starsChanged 3 months agoMITView on GitHub
Configure which models pstack uses per role. Reads each skill's references/models.md, shows the current choices, asks the user, and writes back a kept, idempotent file. Use for /setup-pstack, "configure pstack models", or changing pstack's model choices.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
2 rules. 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 25 edited versions we read keep these.
0
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
2
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 30
Every real selector written must be in the detected set.
- Very specific: line 34
Write each references/models.md with one line per role, using the same labels the skill's own file documents.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 25 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
Setup pstack
Write each pstack skill's references/models.md, the per-skill override file that sets pstack's model per role. Every skill that reads role→model config has one. The skills read their own file and fall back to the parent model when a line is absent, so this is an override layer, not a requirement.
Steps
1. Locate the per-skill config files
Find pstack's skills wherever they are installed: this repo's skills/, ~/.prime/agent/skills/, or node_modules/<pkg>/skills/. Every skill with a references/models.md is configurable. Read each file; its header comment documents the role lines and their legal values for that skill.
2. Detect available models
Resolve the model selectors you can pass to a child in this session with await rlm.find_models(...); that is the dependable source. If you cannot detect any, ask the user to paste the selectors they have access to. Never write a real selector you have not confirmed is available. The alias inherit-parent is always valid even though it is not a detected selector.
3. Load current state
For each skill, the current choices are the role lines present in its references/models.md. A file with no lines (or no file) means every role falls back to the parent model.
4. Map and confirm
Show every role with its current model, marking any real selector not in the detected set as needing a choice. Ask the user whether to accept as-is or change specific roles, offering the detected models plus inherit-parent (this role runs on the parent chat model) as the options. For panel roles (arena runners, how critics, architect runners, interrogate reviewers) the value is a list, and one subagent runs per entry, inherit-parent entries included, so the list length sets the count. arena cross-judge pool is also a list, but Arena selects one value from it whose model family differs from the parent's when possible. swarm workers is the default model for every worker unless a race or comparison assigns another model per arm. Follow each skill's own file for its exact role names and list semantics.
5. Validate
Every real selector written must be in the detected set; inherit-parent always passes. If a chosen real selector is not available, stop and ask again. A file pointing at a model the user cannot use breaks every delegation that reads it.
6. Write each file
Write each references/models.md with one line per role, using the same labels the skill's own file documents. Keep the file's header and example comments as-is; overwrite the values so re-runs stay idempotent. The reflect file shows the canonical shape:
# reflect model configuration
One line per role. Delete a line (or this file) to inherit the parent model.
# judgment: <model selector>
# tooling: <model selector>Resolve a valid selector with await rlm.find_models(...) and pass the exact returned selector as model= when spawning. inherit-parent or omitting model runs the child on the parent chat model.
7. Confirm
Tell the user the files were written and that the choices apply to new runs. Re-running this skill updates them.
8. Offer a verification skill (optional)
Check whether the project has a way to drive the real app for proof (a verify-* skill, or an existing harness). If not, offer once: "want a project-local verification skill, so agents can drive the app the way a user does and prove changes work? I can generate one with /create-verification-skill." On yes, invoke /create-verification-skill. On no, move on without pushing.

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
