What it does

Sync Agent Infra is an agent skill from NVIDIA/OpenShell, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Reconcile contributor skills, AGENTS.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, issue and PR templates, and workflow references after repository workflow changes.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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 Agent Workflows, covering Agent instruction files. It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: OpenShell is the safe, private runtime for autonomous AI agents. The licence is Apache-2.0.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 834b79a. 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:

    • npx

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx, 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

Sync Agent Infra loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 508 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~39
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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.

Sync Agent Infrastructure

Keep contributor guidance consistent without copying procedural workflows into AGENTS.md. That file holds repository coding conventions and pointers; the relevant skills hold issue, PR, and maintenance procedures. CONTRIBUTING.md explains the human workflow.

When to run

Run after adding, removing, or renaming a skill or crate; changing issue or PR conventions; changing development workflows; or modifying templates or agent cross references. Run before opening a PR that touches these areas.

Search both skills/ and .agents/skills/ for affected commands, fields, and components; the map is a starting point.

Consistency check

  1. Compare skills/*/SKILL.md and .agents/skills/*/SKILL.md with the inventories in CONTRIBUTING.md. Public skills must work outside a checkout and use installed CLI help and published documentation. Contributor skills must set metadata.internal: true. Confirm names are unique and local links resolve.
  2. Compare crates/ with the architecture table in AGENTS.md. Check the public and contributor skill rows.
  3. Follow Label Discovery in CONTRIBUTING.md to retrieve every page of current GitHub labels and resolve unclear descriptions, then check issue guidance for the general triage → validation → human acceptance process. Skills should mention the state:* namespace without enumerating exact labels, and should not depend on agent:* labels. A direct request authorizes only the requested phase; unattended work uses current state descriptions, maintainer assignments, and comments to establish the authorized phase.
  4. Check issue templates, create-github-issue, create-spike, and triage-issue for the first-hand OpenShell User Story, OpenShell-only bug reproduction, notional UX examples, and consideration of applicable extension points.
  5. Check the PR template, create-github-pr, build-from-issue, fix-security-issue, and CONTRIBUTING.md: every PR must close an existing issue covering its scope, except automated dependency updates as described in CONTRIBUTING.md. Multi-PR work needs an issue per PR; a separate issue may track the overall effort.
  6. Check contributor branch instructions and examples against Branch Names in CONTRIBUTING.md; AGENTS.md and skills should refer to that convention. Check README.md, .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/, .github/workflows/, .agents/agents/, and related skill cross references for stale workflow statements. Keep user-facing documentation changes minimal and avoid duplicated internal explanations.
  7. Check that PR, build, TUI, and docs contribution guidance follow the scoped verification guidance in CONTRIBUTING.md; they must not require full Rust, SDK, or repository CI for changes that cannot affect those areas.
  8. Use npx -y skills add . --list from a disposable clean copy when skill discovery changes. It should expose public skills only; clean generated files afterward.
