What it does

Sync Repo Status is an agent skill from gittower/git-flow-next. Regenerate REPOSTATUS.md — full snapshot of open PRs, local branches, issues, and discussions with merge-readiness and triage assessment

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k 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 Development. The repository describes itself as: A modern reimplementation of git-flow in Go that offers greater flexibility while maintaining backward compatibility with the original git-flow and git-flow-avh.

When your agent uses it

  • Development work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/sync-repo-status”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read, Write, Glob, mcp__github__list_issues, mcp__github__list_pull_requests, mcp__github__get_pull_request_reviews, mcp__github__get_pull_request_comments

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Gather State
  2. Assess
  3. Write REPO_STATUS.md
  4. Report to User

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 00d1b4b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash
    • Read
    • Write
    • Glob
    • mcp__github__list_issues
    • mcp__github__list_pull_requests
    • mcp__github__get_pull_request_reviews
    • mcp__github__get_pull_request_comments

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • gh
    • git

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use gh and git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Sync Repo Status loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 473 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~39
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

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 473 words (~1,418 tokens).

“Regenerate REPO_STATUS.md in the project root: a complete point-in-time snapshot of everything open — PRs (grouped by whose move it is), local branches without PRs, issues (grouped by theme, with reply/duplicate/ linked-PR status), and open discussion questions — ending in…”
