description	Echo the agent's dispatch input back as a structured result and count its tokens. A trivial local skill used by the sample-agent fixture to exercise the local-skill resolution path (agentskills.io format) at registration.

echo-input

A minimal local skill (agentskills.io format) bundled with astrolift-sample-agent. It exists to exercise the spec 38 / spec 39 local skill resolution path — a { name = "relative/path" } entry in astrolift.toml skills that resolves to a folder in the agent's own repo and upserts a Skill record (+ its scripts/ → ToolDef rows).

When to use

When you need to confirm a dispatch reached the agent with the expected input payload, without performing real work. Echo the input back and report its size.

Instructions

1. Read the dispatch input from ASTROLIFT_INPUT (string or JSON).
2. If it is text, return { "echo": <text>, "word_count": N }.
3. If it is JSON, return { "echo": <value>, "keys": N }.
4. If absent, return { "echo": null, "note": "no ASTROLIFT_INPUT" }.

The bundled scripts/echo.py implements this and maps to a ToolDef under this skill at registration.
