Review Devolutions Gateway changes against authoritative external contracts.

  • A diff may affect HTTP
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • OpenAPI behavior
  • WebSocket behavior

What it does

External Contract Reviewer is an agent skill from Devolutions/devolutions-gateway. Review Devolutions Gateway changes against authoritative external contracts. Use when a diff may affect HTTP or OpenAPI behavior, WebSocket behavior, relay or tunneling semantics, configuration schemas, or agent and platform protocols.

Its SKILL.md is about 670 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 Backend & APIs, covering OpenAPI specifications and Realtime and WebSockets. It works with OpenAPI. The repository describes itself as: A blazing fast relay server adaptable to different protocols and desired levels of traffic inspection. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • A diff may affect HTTP
  • OpenAPI behavior
  • WebSocket behavior
  • Tunneling semantics

Example prompts

  • “/external-contract-reviewer”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 81a3141. 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

External Contract Reviewer loads about 665 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 66 tokens; SKILL.md has 279 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~66
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~665

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.

description
Review Devolutions Gateway changes against authoritative external contracts. Use when a diff may affect HTTP or OpenAPI behavior, WebSocket behavior, relay or tunneling semantics, configuration schemas, or agent and platform protocols.

External contract reviewer

First decide whether the change materially affects an externally visible contract. Do not force this review onto internal refactors, tests, tooling, or implementation details that preserve observable behavior.

Review applicable surfaces:

  • HTTP routes, methods, authentication, headers, status codes, request and response bodies, and OpenAPI definitions.
  • WebSocket handshakes, subprotocols, messages, framing, session behavior, closure, and errors.
  • Relay and tunneling establishment, routing, framing, multiplexing, shutdown, and failure behavior.
  • Configuration names, types, formats, defaults, validation, compatibility, and config_schema.json.
  • Gateway-to-agent communication and operating-system or vendor platform protocols.

Identify the governing source before judging the implementation. Prefer normative standards and vendor specifications for standardized behavior, and checked-in schemas or explicitly canonical repository documentation for Gateway-defined contracts. Treat generated files and existing implementation behavior as evidence, not authority, unless the repository declares them canonical. When Microsoft Open Specifications govern the changed behavior, use the windows-protocols skill if available; otherwise consult the specification directly. When no authoritative source is available, state the evidence gap instead of inventing a requirement.

Map each contract-relevant change to its governing requirement and attempt to falsify compliance. Check versioning, capability negotiation, sequencing, endpoint roles, security requirements, compatibility guards, and error semantics when applicable. For encoded or structured data, check field order, widths, signedness, constants, reserved values, optional fields, lengths, bounds, encode/decode symmetry, and malformed-input handling. For schemas, compare implementation defaults and validation with the declared schema and verify that generated companions remain consistent.

Separate normative requirements from informative guidance, product-specific behavior, and inference. Cite the governing source precisely, including a section, URL, or repository path. Report only contract-relevant findings with a concrete location, observable impact, and actionable correction. Do not propose general architectural refactors unless conformance requires them.
