What it does

Argentos Dev Ops is an agent skill from ArgentAIOS/argentos-core. ArgentOS development operations workflow — Linear tracking, CodeRabbit reviews, Blacksmith CI, GitHub branch protection, and inter-agent handoff protocol. Use when working on any ArgentOS repo, creating PRs, managing CI/CD, coordinating between agents, syncing installers, or setting up new project infrastructure. Trigger on mentions of Linear, CodeRabbit, Blacksmith, branch protection, handoff, installer sync, or dev workflow.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/tracking-contract.md`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Multi-agent orchestration and CI/CD. It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Your own AI operating system. Self-hosted. Self-improving. One continuous, truthful, self-directed mind.

When your agent uses it

  • Working on any ArgentOS repo
  • Coordinating between agents
  • Syncing installers
  • Setting up new project infrastructure

Example prompts

  • “Use the argentos-dev-ops skill to argento development operations workflow — Linear tracking, CodeRabbit reviews, Blacksmith CI, GitHub branch…”
  • “/argentos-dev-ops”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Branch from main.
  2. Implement. pnpm build must pass.
  3. pnpm review:coderabbit if available.
  4. Push, create PR. CodeRabbit reviews.
  5. Fix findings. Human review. Merge.
  6. Update Linear with PR link and Done.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit acbf929. 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:

    • pnpm
    • curl

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • argentos.ai

    Also links to:

    • blacksmith.sh

    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

Argentos Dev Ops loads about 1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 112 tokens; SKILL.md has 324 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~112
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.5k

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 324 words (~1,031 tokens).

“Standard operating procedures for all ArgentOS development across five repos.”
