What it does

Updates is an agent skill from jtenniswood/espframe. Summarize user-facing changes made to this project over the last 7 days. Use when the user says "/updates", asks for recent updates, weekly updates, release-style highlights, or wants a concise feature summary ordered by importance.

Its SKILL.md is about 530 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 Writing & Content, covering Internal communications. The repository describes itself as: Esphome based Immich digital photo frame.

When your agent uses it

  • The user says /updates
  • Asks for recent updates
  • Release-style highlights
  • Wants a concise feature summary ordered by importance

Example prompts

  • “/updates”
  • “/updates”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Check the current branch and update remote refs without changing branches
  2. Review commits from the last 7 days
  3. Inspect changed files when commit subjects are not enough
  4. Group related commits into user-facing items. Prefer these categories
  5. Order items by importance

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 12db1d5. 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

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

  • Network

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

Updates loads about 527 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 60 tokens; SKILL.md has 218 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~60
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~527

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 218 words (~527 tokens).

“Summarize the project's user-facing changes from the last 7 days in plain language. Focus on what a user can see, configure, install, fix, or benefit from, not internal implementation details.”
