What it does

Update Libs Versions is an agent skill from CosminMihuMDC/KtorMonitor. Update dependency versions in gradle/libs.versions.toml by querying Maven repositories.

Its SKILL.md is about 800 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 Mobile, covering Android development. It works with Gradle, Android, Jetpack Compose and Kotlin. The repository describes itself as: Powerful tool to monitor Ktor Client, OkHttp and http4k requests and responses, making it easier to debug and analyze network communication. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Android development

Example prompts

  • “/update-libs-versions”

Workflow steps

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

  1. https://dl.google.com/android/maven2
  2. https://repo1.maven.org/maven2
  3. https://maven.pkg.jetbrains.space/public/p/compose/dev

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1993898. 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 (its code samples are bash).

    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:

    • dl.google.com
    • repo1.maven.org
    • maven.pkg.jetbrains.space

    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

Update Libs Versions loads about 800 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 27 tokens; SKILL.md has 352 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~27
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~800

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.

Update libs.versions.toml from Maven metadata

Use this skill when a developer asks to quickly refresh dependency versions in gradle/libs.versions.toml.

Goal

Update values from [versions] that are referenced by [libraries] entries, using live Maven repository metadata.

Constraints

  • Edit only gradle/libs.versions.toml.
  • Keep existing aliases and formatting style intact.
  • Do not change android-*Sdk numeric SDK values.
  • Prefer stable releases (alpha, beta, rc, m, eap, dev, snapshot are pre-release).
  • If current value is pre-release, allow pre-release updates in the same train.

Repositories to query (in this order)

  1. https://dl.google.com/android/maven2
  2. https://repo1.maven.org/maven2
  3. https://maven.pkg.jetbrains.space/public/p/compose/dev

For a dependency group:artifact, query:

{repo}/{group as path}/{artifact}/maven-metadata.xml

Example:

io/ktor/ktor-client-core/maven-metadata.xml

Fast update algorithm

  1. Parse gradle/libs.versions.toml.
  2. Build a map: version.ref -> representative module(s) from [libraries].
  3. Skip version refs that are not used by [libraries].
  4. For each version ref, query repository metadata for candidate modules in parallel.
  5. Pick the highest matching version:
    • Prefer stable versions unless the current version is pre-release.
    • Ignore invalid/non-semver tags when a valid stable exists.
  6. Update only changed [versions] values.
  7. Print a compact report: alias, old, new, source repository.

Documentation sync (required)

After updating gradle/libs.versions.toml, also update version badges in the Acknowledgments sections to keep docs consistent.

Files to update:

  • README.md -> ## 🙌 Acknowledgments
  • docs/docs/contributing.md -> ## 🙌 Acknowledgments

Update badge versions for stack items that are shown there (for example: Kotlin, Compose Multiplatform, Ktor, OkHttp, http4k, SQLDelight, Android API when applicable).

Rule: docs must reflect the final versions from gradle/libs.versions.toml (or platform source of truth for Android API level).

Practical notes

  • Use HTTP timeouts and continue on per-artifact failures.
  • Cache successful metadata responses per group:artifact during the run.
  • If an alias maps to many modules, one successful module metadata response is enough.

Validation

After update, run:

bash
./gradlew clean build

If build fails due to incompatible upgrades, keep the alias unchanged and report it.

Optional commit format (only when explicitly requested)

If the developer asks for a commit, use a commit message that includes one line per updated dependency in this format:

  • name: old version -> new version

Example:

  • kotlin: 2.4.10 -> 2.4.20
  • ktor: 3.5.1 -> 3.5.2
  • okhttp: 5.4.0 -> 5.5.0

Expected output format

  • Updated: ktor 3.5.1 -> 3.5.2 (repo1.maven.org)
  • Unchanged: sqldelight 2.3.2
  • Skipped: android-compileSdk (non-Maven platform value)
