What it does
Hot Updater is an agent skill from gronxb/hot-updater. Set up, upgrade, operate, and diagnose Hot Updater projects. Use for provider infrastructure setup or upgrades, server template extraction, deployment, delivery policy, rollback, promotion, Bundle or Release inspection, patching, Storage cleanup, channels, signing keys, database or catalog operations, app versions, fingerprints, and doctor repair. Discover commands and options from the selected project's live CLI help; do not use this skill to develop Hot Updater itself.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/infrastructure.md`).
It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Deployment and Cross-platform mobile apps. It works with React Native. The repository describes itself as: A self-hostable OTA update solution for React Native (Alternative to CodePush).
When your agent uses it
- Provider infrastructure setup
- Server template extraction
- Delivery policy
- Release inspection
Example prompts
- “/hot-updater”
Requirements
- A credential in ORPHAN_PUBLIC_KEY
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Identify the exact app/config root and its controlling package-manager
- Narrowly inspect the relevant manifest, package-manager declaration, targeted
- Resolve and validate the installed CLI under Local CLI Contract,
- Run every CLI process from the exact app/config root. Use workspace selectors
- Run --help, route the intent below, and recursively discover each path.
- Apply the safe loop: inspect -> identify -> authorize -> mutate -> verify.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b3cc4bb. 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:
pnpm
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pnpm, 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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
ORPHAN_PUBLIC_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Hot Updater loads about 2.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 122 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,426 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 1,426 words (~2,800 tokens).
“Use this skill as a router, not a command manual. The selected project's local CLI help is the syntax source of truth.”
