What it does

Repomatic Init is an agent skill from kdeldycke/dotfiles. Bootstrap a repository with reusable workflows from kdeldycke/repomatic.

Its SKILL.md is about 500 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts. Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code. Recommended model: Haiku.

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering CI/CD. It works with GitHub Actions. The repository describes itself as: 🍎 macOS dotfiles for Python developers. The licence is BSD-2-Clause.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve CI/CD

Example prompts

  • “/repomatic-init”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code. Recommended model: Haiku.
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read, Grep, Glob

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7947d0f. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash
    • Read
    • Grep
    • Glob

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • uvx
    • uv

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use uvx and uv, 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.

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code. Recommended model: Haiku.

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Repomatic Init loads about 500 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 22 tokens; SKILL.md has 210 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~22
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~500

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Bash, Read, Grep, Glob

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.

Context

![ -f pyproject.toml ] && echo "pyproject.toml exists" || echo "No pyproject.toml" !ls .github/workflows/ 2>/dev/null || echo "No .github/workflows/ directory" ![ -f repomatic/__init__.py ] && echo "CANONICAL_REPO" || echo "DOWNSTREAM"

Instructions

You help users bootstrap a repository to use the reusable GitHub Actions workflows from kdeldycke/repomatic.

Determine invocation method
  • If the context above shows CANONICAL_REPO, use uv run repomatic init.
  • Otherwise, use uvx -- repomatic init.
  • Gate the uvx form with the supply-chain cooldown: uvx --exclude-newer '1 week' --exclude-newer-package repomatic=P0D -- repomatic. The window matches [tool.repomatic] minimum-release-age; repomatic itself is exempt because a fresh release must stay installable, while its dependency tree stays gated.
Argument handling
  • If $ARGUMENTS is empty, first analyze the project (check pyproject.toml, existing workflows, project language) and recommend which components to initialize. Then ask the user to confirm before running.
  • If $ARGUMENTS is provided, pass it through: <cmd> init $ARGUMENTS.
After running
  • Show the generated files and explain what each workflow does.
  • Highlight required next steps: GitHub PAT setup for workflows that need it, GitHub Pages configuration for docs workflows, and any pyproject.toml [tool.repomatic] configuration options.
  • If existing workflow files were detected, warn about potential conflicts.
Next steps

Suggest the user run:

  • /repomatic-audit to check the generated files against upstream conventions.
  • After pushing, the autofix.yaml and lint.yaml workflows keep the workflow callers synced and validated automatically.
