At a glance

Checks if the downstream provider repository is aligned with the correct Magic Modules base commit.

  • Works in 3 steps: Identify Magic Modules Base Commit → Find the Matching Downstream Commit → Compare and Report
  • Calls git

What it does

Check Sync Provider is an agent skill from GoogleCloudPlatform/magic-modules. Checks if the downstream provider repository is aligned with the correct Magic Modules base commit.

Its SKILL.md is about 270 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Add Google Cloud Platform support to Terraform.

Example prompts

  • “Use the check-sync-provider skill to check if the downstream provider repository is aligned with the correct Magic Modules base commit”
  • “/check-sync-provider”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Identify Magic Modules Base Commit
  2. Find the Matching Downstream Commit
  3. Compare and Report

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e5db069. 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:

    • git

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use 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

Check Sync Provider loads about 273 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 30 tokens; SKILL.md has 131 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~30
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~273

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 131 words (~273 tokens).

“Use this skill to verify if the downstream repository is at the correct baseline commit before generating code or running tests.”
