At a glance

Read CI logs, test results and failure diagnoses for the Check workflow, and retry its failed jobs, using the depot CLI against DEPOTTOKEN.

  • So mcpgithubgetcheckrun and getjoblogs cannot see them
  • SKILL.md covers Get the CLI, The ids, and where they come…, The three things worth running and Retrying a job, plus 1 more section
  • Calls curl and claude; reaches depot.dev and dl.depot.dev; needs DEPOT_TOKEN
  • Retry a flaky shard rather than asking a maintainer to press the button

What it does

Depot CI is an agent skill from dxos/dxos. Read CI logs, test results and failure diagnoses for the Check workflow, and retry its failed jobs, using the depot CLI against DEPOTTOKEN. Use whenever a Check / … check run is red and you need the actual failure — the GitHub API returns empty output for these checks and depot.dev links redirect to SSO, so mcpgithubgetcheckrun and getjoblogs cannot see them. Also use to retry a flaky shard rather than asking a maintainer to press the button.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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 Authentication. It works with GitHub, Model Context Protocol and GitHub Actions. The repository describes itself as: TypeScript implementation of the DXOS protocols, SDK, toolchain and Composer.

When your agent uses it

  • So mcpgithubgetcheckrun and getjoblogs cannot see them
  • Retry a flaky shard rather than asking a maintainer to press the button

Example prompts

  • “/depot-ci”

Requirements

  • A credential in DEPOT_TOKEN

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 085dcb1. 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:

    • curl
    • claude

    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:

    • depot.dev
    • dl.depot.dev

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • DEPOT_TOKEN

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Depot CI loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 120 tokens; SKILL.md has 445 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~120
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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 445 words (~1,112 tokens).

“CI in this repo is not GitHub Actions. The Check workflow lives in .depot/workflows/check.yml and runs on Depot, so:”
