  • SKILL.md covers User Input and Outline
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Sync Modules is an agent skill from alibaba/neug. Cerate or Update a GitHub Issue for each Module in the task document.

Its SKILL.md is about 580 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development. It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: The one data index for your agentic applications. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Development work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/sync-modules”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Locate Feature & Tasks
  2. Check Current Modules
  3. Create Module Issue: (For each module_i.md file)
  4. Link Sub-issue (Use GitHub Sub-issue api)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6ef9f08. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Sync Modules loads about 575 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 21 tokens; SKILL.md has 306 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~21
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~575

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.

User Input

text
$ARGUMENTS

You MUST consider the user input before proceeding (if not empty).

Outline

  1. Locate Feature & Tasks:

    • Extract the feature name from the branch name or user input like ###-feature-name, e.g., 001-feature-name.
    • Find the most likely feature in the specs directory, i.e., ./specs/[###-feature-name]. The feature id and name must be exact match.
    • The feature spec must has a task directory (i.e, tasks/) including a metadata.md file and multiple module_i.md files. All paths must be absolute.
    • Find the feature issue link in the tasks/metadata.md file. If not exists, search the feature issue on the GitHub by the prefix [###-feature-name]. The feature id and name must be exact match. If not found, stop and report error "Feature issue not found: [###-feature-name]".
  2. Check Current Modules:

    • View the feature issue and its sub-issues on the GitHub to confirm the current modules.
    • If some modules are missing, go to Step 3 to create them.
    • If some modules are modified (local files and remote issues are different), synchronize them.
  3. Create Module Issue: (For each module_i.md file)

    • Create a new issue on the GitHub.
    • The issue title is [###-feature-name] Module <i>: <description>, e.g., [001-add-frontend] Module 1: Setup for biagent.
    • The body is the Goal (at the beginning of the module_i.md file) and tasks list (at metadata.md) of the module.
    • The Assignee is given in the module_i.md file. @me by default.
    • The Labels are given in the module_i.md file.
    • The Milestone is given in the module_i.md file. Skip if None is given.
    • The Project is given in the module_i.md file. Skip if None is given.
  4. Link Sub-issue (Use GitHub Sub-issue api):

    • Set each Module Issue as the sub-issue of the Feature Issue.
    • First find the issueId.
    • Then link the sub-issue using the following commands:
      gh api graphql -f query='mutation { addSubIssue(input: {issueId: "xxx", subIssueId: "xxx"}) { issue { id title } subIssue { id title } } }'
