What it does

Merge is an agent skill from jtenniswood/espcontrol. Prepare and merge a specific EspControl pull request by addressing remaining review feedback, resolving conflicts with main, and merging only when required reviews and checks are clear. Use when the user says "/merge" or asks to get a pull request ready and merge it.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k 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, covering Pull requests. The repository describes itself as: Esphome based smart home control panel.

When your agent uses it

  • The user says /merge
  • Asks to get a pull request ready and merge it

Example prompts

  • “/merge”
  • “/merge”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Identify One Pull Request
  2. Clear Review Feedback
  3. Update the Branch and Resolve Conflicts
  4. Recheck Merge Readiness
  5. Merge

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 24ce042. 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:

    • gh

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use gh, 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

Merge loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 68 tokens; SKILL.md has 811 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
~1.4k

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 811 words (~1,388 tokens).

“Take one identified pull request through the repository's final review and conflict-resolution workflows, then merge it when GitHub reports that it is ready. Invoking this skill authorizes the merge attempt for that pull request; it does not authorize bypassing protections…”
