What it does

Post Update is an agent skill from jtenniswood/espcontrol. Post a standard update comment to a GitHub issue that is already in the chat context. Use when the user says "/post-update", asks to update an issue after a fix has landed, or wants issue participants told that the fix will be in the next release and invited to leave feedback once they can test it.

Its SKILL.md is about 450 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. It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Esphome based smart home control panel.

When your agent uses it

  • The user says /post-update
  • Asks to update an issue after a fix has landed
  • Wants issue participants told that the fix will be in the next release and invited to leave feedback once they can test it

Example prompts

  • “/post-update”
  • “/post-update”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Identify the GitHub issue from the current chat context.
  2. Confirm the target issue is in this repository unless the chat clearly points
  3. Post this comment, adjusting only the greeting if the reporter's name is
  4. Do not close the issue. The project owner wants to test or receive feedback
  5. After posting, reply with the issue number and a short confirmation. If the

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 72cf82c. 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

Post Update loads about 449 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 78 tokens; SKILL.md has 182 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~78
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~449

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 182 words (~449 tokens).

“Post a short, friendly GitHub issue comment saying the change will be included in the next release and asking the reporter to leave feedback after testing.”
