What it does

Approve Gepa Changes is an agent skill from herald-email/herald-mail-app. Use when approving, rejecting, or marking implemented Herald GEPA pending approval items, including requests like "approve GEPA changes", "approve all pending GEPA", or approval of a specific queue key from docs/superpowers/gepa-pending-approvals.md.

Its SKILL.md is about 880 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Development. The repository describes itself as: Herald is a terminal email client and inbox cleanup tool with IMAP, AI-assisted triage, MCP tools, and SSH/browser-friendly app modes.

When your agent uses it

  • Marking implemented Herald GEPA pending approval items
  • Including requests like approve GEPA changes
  • Approve all pending GEPA
  • Approval of a specific queue key from docs/superpowers/gepa-pending-approvals.md

Example prompts

  • “approve GEPA changes”
  • “approve all pending GEPA”
  • “/approve-gepa-changes”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b097c04. 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
    • python3

    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

Approve Gepa Changes loads about 881 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 68 tokens; SKILL.md has 315 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~68
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~881

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 315 words (~881 tokens).

“Use this skill for Herald's GEPA approval lane. Approval records a user's decision about workflow suggestions recovered from autopilot self-reflection; it does not implement the approved improvement unless the user separately asks for implementation.”
