Glean Upgrade Migration

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Tasks that involve Changelog and release notes

Example prompts

• “glean upgrade migration”
• “upgrade-migration”
• “/glean-upgrade-migration”

Requirements

• Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
• Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Bash(npm:*), Bash(curl:*), Grep

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Read the version delta and inventory affected client, connector, schema, and authorization contracts.
2. 2Upgrade in sandbox first, run bounded regression tests, and compare response shape, indexing counts, freshness, and authorization probes…
3. 3Promote through staging and a single canary datasource after approval; do not mix unrelated configuration changes into the upgrade.
4. 4Monitor the stated rollback triggers, then either promote in stages or restore the pinned prior revision and preserve redacted evidence.
5. 5Update the compatibility record only after the canary and rollback exercise are both complete.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. 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:

  • Read
  • Write
  • Edit
  • Bash(npm:*)
  • Bash(curl:*)
  • Grep

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are typescript).

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

• Network

  Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

  • developers.glean.com

  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.

• Compatibility

  Designed for Claude Code

  From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Glean Upgrade Migration loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 32 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

~32

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.8k

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

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.
