What it does
Update Expected App Size is an agent skill from dotnet/macios, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Download updated expected app size files from Azure DevOps CI artifacts for the current branch. Use when app size tests fail in CI and the user wants to update the expected files locally. Trigger on "update app size", "download expected files", "fix app size test", or "update expected app size files".
Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k 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 Mobile performance. It works with .NET, Azure DevOps, C# and iOS. The repository describes itself as: .NET for iOS, Mac Catalyst, macOS, and tvOS provide open-source bindings of the Apple SDKs for use with .NET managed languages such as C.
When your agent uses it
- App size tests fail in CI and the user wants to update the expected files locally
- Update app size
- Download expected files
- Fix app size test
Example prompts
- “update app size”
- “download expected files”
- “fix app size test”
- “/update-expected-app-size”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Determine the current branch and PR
- Find the Azure DevOps build
- Download the artifacts
- Place the files
- Verify and commit
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 354c2a6. 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:
gitcurlghazpython3
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:
devdiv.visualstudio.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
Update Expected App Size loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 547 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
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 547 words (~1,483 tokens).
“Download updated expected app size files from Azure DevOps artifacts for the current branch's PR build, and apply them to the repository.”
