At a glance
Reproduce, report, and work around bugs in upstream software managed by these dotfiles.

What it does
Fix Upstream is an agent skill from nateberkopec/dotfiles. Reproduce, report, and work around bugs in upstream software managed by these dotfiles. Use when a managed dependency is broken, an upstream fix is needed, or dotfiles must temporarily use a patched fork.
Its SKILL.md is about 1000 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: yup we're doin the thing.
When your agent uses it
- A managed dependency is broken
- An upstream fix is needed
- Dotfiles must temporarily use a patched fork
Example prompts
- “/fix-upstream”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6afb80d. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
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
Fix Upstream loads about 998 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 533 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 533 words (~998 tokens).
“Restore reliable behavior in dotfiles when an upstream dependency is broken, and make returning to upstream straightforward. Use your judgment and initiative to carry the work through to completion within the boundaries below. Choose the implementation and sequence of work…”
