What it does

Dep Update is an agent skill from ai-dynamo/dynamo. Updates Dynamo Enhancement Proposal lifecycle state in GitHub, including triage, PIC assignment, review, approval, and status label changes. Use when triaging a new DEP, assigning a PIC, or moving a proposal through review and approval.

Its SKILL.md is about 650 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: A Datacenter Scale Distributed Inference Serving Framework. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Triaging a new DEP
  • Assigning a PIC
  • Moving a proposal through review and approval

Example prompts

  • “Use the dep-update skill to update Dynamo Enhancement Proposal lifecycle state in GitHub, including triage, PIC assignment, review, approval, and…”
  • “/dep-update”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. List unassigned DEPs
  2. Assign PIC based on the area label
  3. Move to review when the spec is ready

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1668037. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • gh

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use gh, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Dep Update loads about 654 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 184 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~62
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~654

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Skill: Update DEP Lifecycle

Purpose

Update DEP status through its lifecycle — triage, review, approve, defer, or close. Covers the PIC workflow from initial assignment through final approval.

When to Use

When triaging DEP issues, reviewing a DEP as PIC or reviewer, approving a DEP that is under review, or updating DEP status.

Workflow

Triage (assign PIC)
  1. List unassigned DEPs:
bash
gh issue list --repo ai-dynamo/dynamo \
  --label "dep:draft" \
  --json number,title,labels,assignees \
  --jq '.[] | select(.assignees | length == 0)'
  1. Assign PIC based on the area label:
bash
gh issue edit <number> --repo ai-dynamo/dynamo \
  --add-assignee "<github-username>"
  1. Move to review when the spec is ready:
bash
gh issue edit <number> --repo ai-dynamo/dynamo \
  --remove-label "dep:draft" \
  --add-label "dep:under-review"
Review
  1. Read the DEP issue and discussion:
bash
gh issue view <number> --repo ai-dynamo/dynamo
gh issue view <number> --repo ai-dynamo/dynamo --comments

  1. Post review feedback as comments on the issue.

  2. Request changes or clarifications from the author.

Approve
  1. Verify the issue is under review:
bash
gh issue view <number> --repo ai-dynamo/dynamo --json labels
  1. Post the approval comment:
bash
gh issue comment <number> --repo ai-dynamo/dynamo --body "/approve"
  1. If this is the PIC approving (or all required reviewers have approved), update the label:
bash
gh issue edit <number> --repo ai-dynamo/dynamo \
  --remove-label "dep:under-review" \
  --add-label "dep:approved"

Notes

  • For straightforward DEPs, the PIC's /approve is sufficient.
  • For multi-reviewer DEPs, the PIC maintains a pinned approval checklist and updates the label only when all required approvals are collected.
  • /approve comments are searchable for audit: gh search issues --repo ai-dynamo/dynamo "/approve" in:comments
  • Area labels are bare names (e.g., frontend, router) — no prefix.
