What it does

Deprecate Cds API is an agent skill from coinbase/cds. Deprecates a CDS component, hook, or other exported symbol with consistent JSDoc, version tags, and docsite metadata across every public export path (web, mobile, common, visualization), not only the original package. Use whenever the user asks to deprecate a CDS component or API, mark something as deprecated, add @deprecated / @deprecationExpectedRemoval, or update deprecation warnings in apps/docs metadata under components or hooks (webMetadata.json / mobileMetadata.json / metadata.json). Also use when…

Its SKILL.md is about 2.6k 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, covering Technical documentation. It works with Coinbase. The repository describes itself as: Coinbase Design System.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to deprecate a CDS component
  • Mark something as deprecated
  • Add @deprecated / @deprecationExpectedRemoval
  • Update deprecation warnings in apps/docs metadata under components

Example prompts

  • “Use the deprecate-cds-api skill to deprecate a CDS component, hook, or other exported symbol with consistent JSDoc, version tags, and docsite…”
  • “/deprecate-cds-api”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Grep, Glob, StrReplace, Bash(yarn nx run:*)

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Discover every public export (all packages)
  2. JSDoc on the deprecated symbol
  3. Removal version for @deprecationExpectedRemoval
  4. Consistency across export surfaces
  5. Docsite metadata (apps/docs/docs)
  6. Verification checklist
  7. Run ESLint (required)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 46d9e48. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Grep
    • Glob
    • StrReplace
    • Bash(yarn nx run:*)

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • yarn

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use yarn, 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

Deprecate Cds API loads about 2.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 180 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,145 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~180
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.6k

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 1,145 words (~2,576 tokens).

“Automate the standard CDS deprecation workflow for symbols exported from packages/web, packages/mobile, or packages/common.”
