What it does
Release Upgrade Safety is an agent skill from nightly-labs/openbot. Audit a pending OpenBot release for upgrade and data-loss hazards before the version is bumped or tagged. Use when asked to cut a release, create or bump a version, prepare a tag, or check whether a change is safe to ship to installed users.
Its SKILL.md is about 3.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 11 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/gate-a-sqlite.md` and `references/gate-b-on-disk-state.md`).
The repository describes itself as: A local-first desktop workspace for persistent AI teammates. Run Codex, Claude, and Grok with dedicated workspaces, task queues, file sharing, browser control, and agent-to-agent…
When your agent uses it
- Asked to cut a release
- Check whether a change is safe to ship to installed users
Example prompts
- “/release-upgrade-safety”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- establish the range, then account for every file in it
- the eight gates
- report and hand off
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4ce20b6. 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:
gitbuncurl
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:
signal.openbot.run
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
Release Upgrade Safety loads about 3.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~14k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 66 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,843 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
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,843 words (~3,200 tokens).
“Every hazard here is one an installed user pays for and you cannot take back. openbot.db is migrated in place with no backup, two dozen files under userData are rewritten by whichever build opens them last, a released Team API…”
