What it does

Warden Sweep is an agent skill from getsentry/warden, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Full-repository code sweep. Scans every file with Warden, verifies findings through deep tracing, creates draft PRs for validated issues. Use when asked to "sweep the repo", "scan everything", "find all bugs", "full codebase review", "batch code analysis", or run Warden across the entire repository.

Its SKILL.md is about 780 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 21 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `SOURCES.md`, `SPEC.md` and `references/issue-phase.md`).

The repository describes itself as: Your code is under new management. Agents that review your code.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to sweep the repo
  • Scan everything
  • Full codebase review
  • Batch code analysis

Example prompts

  • “sweep the repo”
  • “scan everything”
  • “find all bugs”
  • “/warden-sweep”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read references/script-interfaces.md once before running scripts.
  2. Run Phase 1 from references/scan-phase.md. Save runId and sweepDir.
  3. Run Phase 2 from references/verify-phase.md. Verify every finding before patching.
  4. Run Phase 3 from references/issue-phase.md. Continue if issue creation fails.
  5. Run Phase 4 from references/patch-phase.md. Patch sequentially, one finding at a time.
  6. Run Phase 5 from references/organize-phase.md.
  7. For interrupted or partial runs, read references/resume-and-artifacts.md and continue from the first incomplete phase.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1ee135e. 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

    Ships 7 files in scripts/ (Python, from the files we listed), which the agent can run.

    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

Warden Sweep loads about 780 tokens when it runs, and up to ~5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 78 tokens; SKILL.md has 303 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~78
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~780
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~5k

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); the scripts in this folder 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 303 words (~780 tokens).

“Run a full-repository Warden sweep: scan files, verify findings, create a tracking issue, open draft PRs for validated issues, and organize the final report.”
