Upgrade Telegraf to a new version in the dalec-build-defs repo.

  • Works in 8 steps: Determine the target version → Get the commit SHA for the release tag → Verify the version doesn't already exist → …
  • Someone says upgrade telegraf
  • SKILL.md covers Overview, Step-by-step procedure, Reference: Spec file template and Important rules
  • Calls git, curl and jq; reaches github.com and api.github.com

What it does

Upgrade Telegraf is an agent skill from microsoft/Docker-Provider, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Upgrade Telegraf to a new version in the dalec-build-defs repo. Creates a new spec file, updates version/commit/changelog, and prepares a branch for PR. Use when someone says 'upgrade telegraf', 'new telegraf version', 'bump telegraf', or 'update telegraf package'. DO NOT USE FOR: patching existing versions, modifying build targets, or non-telegraf packages.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Changelog and release notes. It works with Microsoft Azure. The repository describes itself as: Azure Monitor for Containers.

When your agent uses it

  • Someone says upgrade telegraf
  • New telegraf version
  • Update telegraf package
  • : patching existing versions

Example prompts

  • “upgrade telegraf”
  • “new telegraf version”
  • “bump telegraf”
  • “/upgrade-telegraf”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Determine the target version
  2. Get the commit SHA for the release tag
  3. Verify the version doesn't already exist
  4. Identify the latest existing spec file
  5. Create the new spec file
  6. Pull latest main, create a git branch and commit
  7. Push branch, create PR
  8. Summary

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 58aff2e. 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
    • curl
    • jq
    • gh

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • github.com
    • api.github.com
    • mcr.microsoft.com

    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

Upgrade Telegraf loads about 2.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 94 tokens; SKILL.md has 662 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~94
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.5k

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 662 words (~2,536 tokens).

“This skill creates a new DALEC spec file for a new Telegraf release in the dalec-build-defs repository.”
