The skill itself

A skill is instructions the model reads, so you can see what you are getting: below is the start of its SKILL.md. The front matter loads with every session, the body loads when the skill triggers, and the whole file comes with the install.

14## Prerequisites
15
16- Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available)
17- Active Files Com connection via RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit files_com
18- Always call RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS first to get current tool schemas
19
20## Setup
21
22**Get Rube MCP**: Add https://rube.app/mcp as an MCP server in your client configuration. No API keys needed — just add the endpoint and it works.
23
241. Verify Rube MCP is available by confirming RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS responds
252. Call RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit files_com
263. If connection is not ACTIVE, follow the returned auth link to complete setup

Why you can read it

Nothing in a skill executes. The client loads the text and the model follows it, so a skill can be audited the way a runbook is — by reading it.

What it costs in context

Skills are not billed by the call. They are paid for in context: every token the instructions occupy is a token your code, your diff and your conversation cannot use. Here is what this one takes and when it takes it.

≈40
always loaded
The name and description, so the model knows the skill exists and when to reach for it.
710

The instruction body, read only when the skill fires.

Ten skills this size would take about 4% of the window before you open a file.
050k100k150k200k context window

750 tokens, estimated from the bundle at four bytes to the token, held for the rest of the session once it triggers. Small enough to keep loaded permanently without thinking about it.

Servers bill, skills cost

A server charges by the month. A skill charges once per session, in context, and then keeps charging it for as long as the session lives.

Before and after

The same question, put to the same model twice: once as it comes, and once with these instructions loaded.

No worked example has been published for this skill yet.

The procedure it runs

The procedure has not been set out here step by step. It is in the body of its SKILL.md: the start of it is shown above, and the whole file comes with the install.

Prose, not code

These steps are written for a model to follow, not executed by a runtime. It can still be told to skip one, and it will say so when it does.

Servers it uses

It expects 1 MCP server to be connected. Each step names the tool it needs, so a missing server stops the skill with a plain message rather than an invented answer. They are not listed here yet — the names are the author’s own.

RUrubeNamed by the author; not listed in this catalogue, so connect it yourself.
What it asks for
Writes filesnot declared
Network accessnot declared

This SKILL.md carries no allowed-tools line, so neither is declared. A skill grants no permissions of its own — it can only ask for tools your client already has.

What it will not do

Every skill is narrow, and the useful ones say where they stop. These are the jobs this one is the wrong tool for.

What this skill is not for has not been published here. Nothing is implied by that: it is a section the author has not filled in.

What is in the bundle

1 file, 3.0 kB on disk. A bundle is text throughout: the instructions the model reads, plus the templates it fills in.

  • SKILL.md3.0 kB
What is not in it

No dependencies and nothing executable: a skill is text the agent reads, so the bundle is 1 file you can review in full before installing.

Install

Installing copies the bundle into your project. Nothing runs at install time — the files sit on disk until the model reads them.

# Files Com Automation via Rube MCP · 750 tokens when loaded · macOS, Linux mkdir -p .claude/skills && t=$(mktemp -d) && curl -fsSL -o "$t/bundle.tar.gz" https://mcprush.com/api/skills/files-com-automation-via-rube-mcp/bundle.tar.gz && tar -xzf "$t/bundle.tar.gz" -C "$t" && [ -d "$t/files-com-automation-via-rube-mcp" ] && { [ ! -e .claude/skills/files-com-automation-via-rube-mcp ] || { mv .claude/skills/files-com-automation-via-rube-mcp "$t/.previous" && echo "Previous copy moved to $t/.previous"; }; } && mv "$t/files-com-automation-via-rube-mcp" .claude/skills/ && echo "Installed .claude/skills/files-com-automation-via-rube-mcp"

Windows PowerShell says 'running scripts is disabled on this system'? Run Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser RemoteSigned once, or type npx.cmd instead of npx (codex.cmd, gemini.cmd, grok.cmd likewise). PowerShell 7 needs neither. Writes to .claude/skills/files-com-automation-via-rube-mcp/ in the current project. For every project instead, run mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && t=$(mktemp -d) && curl -fsSL -o "$t/bundle.tar.gz" https://mcprush.com/api/skills/files-com-automation-via-rube-mcp/bundle.tar.gz && tar -xzf "$t/bundle.tar.gz" -C "$t" && [ -d "$t/files-com-automation-via-rube-mcp" ] && { [ ! -e ~/.claude/skills/files-com-automation-via-rube-mcp ] || { mv ~/.claude/skills/files-com-automation-via-rube-mcp "$t/.previous" && echo "Previous copy moved to $t/.previous"; }; } && mv "$t/files-com-automation-via-rube-mcp" ~/.claude/skills/ && echo "Installed ~/.claude/skills/files-com-automation-via-rube-mcp" (macOS, Linux) — or add --global to the npx line. The curl line replaces .claude/skills/files-com-automation-via-rube-mcp/ only after the download succeeds, so files left there by another skill of the same name, or by an older release, do not mix in. A copy already there is moved aside, not deleted, and the line prints where. It appears as files-com-automation in Gemini CLI, Codex, Copilot and Grok (its own name); Claude Code lists it by the folder name, files-com-automation-via-rube-mcp.

Which clients pick it up on their own

A skill is a folder of text. Most of these read a skills folder and pick it up without being told; the rest take the same folder another way — an upload in the app, a parameter on an API call — and then choose it by its description just the same.

Versions

Its author publishes no version number, so there is nothing here to pin to: what you install is the folder as it stands today. Instructions change more often than APIs do — a skill can be rewritten entirely without anything it depends on moving.

Pinning

Nothing to pin to: this skill carries no version number of its own. What you install is what the folder holds on the day you install it.
