At a glance

Summarize user-facing project updates from the last 7 days, ordered by importance and written as one-sentence "Feature: description" entries.

  • Works in 4 steps: Gather Recent Changes → Filter For User Value → Prioritize The Results → …
  • The user says /updates
  • Calls git
  • Asks what changed recently

What it does

Updates is an agent skill from jtenniswood/esphome-media-player. Summarize user-facing project updates from the last 7 days, ordered by importance and written as one-sentence "Feature: description" entries. Use when the user says "/updates", asks what changed recently, or wants a concise list of recent features, device support, fixes that users will notice, or other product value.

Its SKILL.md is about 670 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 Home Assistant. The repository describes itself as: Touch screen display for showing cover artwork from any Home Assistant media entity.

When your agent uses it

  • The user says /updates
  • Asks what changed recently
  • Wants a concise list of recent features
  • Fixes that users will notice

Example prompts

  • “Feature: description”
  • “/updates”
  • “/updates”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Gather Recent Changes
  2. Filter For User Value
  3. Prioritize The Results
  4. Write The Summary

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8ab172b. 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 670 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 295 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~82
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~670

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 295 words (~670 tokens).

“Summarize changes made to this project in the last 7 days, focused on what a user would care about.”
