What it does
Integrate Upstream is an agent skill from Apocrathia/home-assistant-config. Pull changes from the prime-context core into Home Assistant Homelab's .agents/ tree — diff shared rules, skills, and scripts, reconcile layer 1 and 2 changes, and preserve project-specific content. Use when the user says sync upstream, integrate upstream changes, pull updates from the core, or update .agents/ from prime-context.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.4k 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 Home Assistant and Git. The repository describes itself as: Apocrathia's Home Assistant Configuration Files.
When your agent uses it
- The user says sync upstream
- Integrate upstream changes
- Pull updates from the core
- Update .agents/ from prime-context
Example prompts
- “/integrate-upstream”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
8 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Locate and load the upstream core
- Baseline from upstream-ref
- Inventory this project's .agents/
- Surface the change set (required gate)
- Apply after confirmation
- Update the pin
- Checks
- Report and hand off
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e28308a. 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:
gitpython3
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
github.com
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
Integrate Upstream loads about 2.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 88 tokens; SKILL.md has 649 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 649 words (~2,363 tokens).
“This repo's .agents/ is built from the prime-context core. The core evolves — new rules, improved skills, better scripts, new templates. This skill pulls those upstream changes in while preserving Homelab-specific content (layer 3).”
