What it does

Skillshare Update Docs is an agent skill from JetBrains/skills, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Update website docs to match recent code changes, cross-validating every flag against source. Use this skill whenever the user asks to: update documentation, sync docs with code, document a new flag or command, fix stale docs, or update the README. This skill covers all website/docs/ categories (commands, reference, understand, how-to, troubleshooting, getting-started) plus the built-in skill description and README. If you just implemented a feature and need to update docs, this is the skill to use. Never…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k 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, covering Technical documentation. The repository describes itself as: Curated agent skills collection verified by JetBrains.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to: update documentation
  • Sync docs with code
  • Document a new flag
  • Update the README

Example prompts

  • “/skillshare-update-docs”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Detect Changes
  2. Cross-Validate Flags
  3. Update Documentation
  4. Check Built-in Skill
  5. Check README
  6. Build Verification
  7. Report

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e0f258b. 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
    • npm

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git and npm, 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

Skillshare Update Docs loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 154 tokens; SKILL.md has 374 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~154
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 374 words (~1,296 tokens).

“Sync website documentation with recent code changes. $ARGUMENTS specifies scope: a command name (e.g., install), commit range, or omit to auto-detect from git diff HEAD~1.”
