What it does

Admin Runner Operations is an agent skill from jianzhichun/emerge. Use when installing, deploying, checking, or batch-updating Emerge runners from admin commands or cockpit operator workflows.

Its SKILL.md is about 340 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with Python. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Batch-updating Emerge runners from admin commands
  • Cockpit operator workflows

Example prompts

  • “/admin-runner-operations”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Check runner status before changing anything with python3 scripts/repl_admin.py runner-status --pretty or the matching icc_* admin tool.
  2. For new machines, generate a bootstrap URL with python3 scripts/repl_admin.py runner-install-url --target-profile .
  3. Deploy scripts one profile at a time unless the operator explicitly asks for batch rollout.
  4. After deploy, re-check health and summarize only profiles whose state changed or still need action.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 035db30. 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:

    • python3

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Admin Runner Operations loads about 338 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 37 tokens; SKILL.md has 161 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~37
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~338

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.

Admin Runner Operations

Purpose

Keep Python runner admin code as transport primitives. Use this skill for the workflow: choosing targets, interpreting health, sequencing deploys, and reporting recovery steps.

Workflow

  1. Check runner status before changing anything with python3 scripts/repl_admin.py runner-status --pretty or the matching icc_* admin tool.
  2. For new machines, generate a bootstrap URL with python3 scripts/repl_admin.py runner-install-url --target-profile <profile>.
  3. Deploy scripts one profile at a time unless the operator explicitly asks for batch rollout.
  4. After deploy, re-check health and summarize only profiles whose state changed or still need action.

Failure Handling

  • Offline runner: report last seen time and avoid repeated deploy attempts.
  • Auth/config error: regenerate install URL rather than editing runner state by hand.
  • HTTP timeout: retry once, then leave a concrete command for manual follow-up.
  • Mixed batch result: treat successful profiles as complete; do not roll back all runners.

Output Style

Use compact bullets grouped by profile. Include exact commands only for the next actionable step.
