What it does

Update Bindings is an agent skill from octanejs/octane. Audit one, several, or all existing Octane bindings; implement selected maintenance findings or remove redundant copied files with evidence matched to source ownership. Use for binding updates, lifecycle fixes, dependency or metadata maintenance, and convenience-import requests.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/audit-evidence.md` and `references/ownership-and-removal.md`).

It sits in Development. It works with React. The repository describes itself as: React’s programming model, compiled. The successor to Inferno. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Binding updates
  • Lifecycle fixes
  • Metadata maintenance
  • Convenience-import requests

Example prompts

  • “/update-bindings”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4cc2a1e. 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:

    • node

    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

Update Bindings loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 805 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~74
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4.5k

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.

description
Audit one, several, or all existing Octane bindings; implement selected maintenance findings or remove redundant copied files with evidence matched to source ownership. Use for binding updates, lifecycle fixes, dependency or metadata maintenance, and convenience-import requests.

Maintain Octane bindings

Prefer direct upstream imports for demonstrated framework-neutral APIs. Octane should own the hooks, adapters, and components required for integration. A missing Octane convenience subpath alone is not a functional gap.

Choose the requested outcome

  • Audit or assess: collect current evidence, assess consumer needs and reduction candidates, and deliver the refreshed report with finding IDs.
  • Update or reduce: use an audit report and selected finding IDs to implement the bounded change below. An audit request alone does not authorize updates.
  • Copy or rewrite React implementation: load octane-react-library-port. Its full port workflow applies to the implementation actually owned, including copied slices of mixed packages. New React-library ports start there directly.

Preserve the user's scope and existing authorization. Skill creation or workflow evaluation does not authorize changes to real bindings. Do not restart a paused campaign or reopen a closed PR merely because its files appear in an audit.

Collect and assess

Read AGENTS.md, the selected binding's public exports and status, and docs/differences-from-react.md for relevant behavior. Use the shared inventory through the audit CLI; do not maintain a separate binding list. Read audit-evidence.md for report assessments and baseline comparisons before relying on a report.

Run the audit script directly so package-manager auto-install cannot run lifecycle scripts during an audit. Required tooling dependencies must already be available; resolve missing setup separately before auditing.

Choose a report path outside every Git source tree, including worktrees and ignored directories. For example, use an external temporary directory:

bash
node scripts/bindings-audit.mjs audit --binding <name> --output <external-report.json>
node scripts/bindings-audit.mjs audit --binding <name> --binding <other-name> --output <external-report.json>
node scripts/bindings-audit.mjs audit --all --output <external-report.json>

Use one selection form. --repository <url> selects the intended Octane remote when needed. Audit fetches isolated remote default-branch checkouts; the caller's checkout is not the audit baseline. Record released package versions separately from fetched default-branch SHAs. Audit collection does not create campaign nodes, migrate matrices, change verification dates, or execute package scripts.

Assess each selected binding's supported behavior and unnecessary copied vanilla source, bundles, and test snapshots. Inspect actual imports and consumer scenarios; snapshot presence suggests a candidate, not permission to delete it. Classify findings as functional-gap, compatibility-defect, dependency-update, metadata-drift, convenience-import, unverified-compatibility, or reduction-candidate. Functional gaps and compatibility defects require a concrete consumer failure. Keep unresolved compatibility explicitly unverified.

Add evidence-backed assessments to the external report, preserving collected facts. Before delivering findings, run the final fetch and report pass:

bash
node scripts/bindings-audit.mjs report --input <external-report.json>

Audit/revalidate write JSON to stdout; report writes human output. Diagnostics go to stderr. Exit 0 means collection and freshness completed, not proven compatibility; 1 means invalid input or an unusable root baseline; 2 means partial or stale evidence. Show incomplete bindings and affected findings accurately.

Implement selected findings

Before edits or delegation, record a scope capsule containing:

  • the consumer problem or concrete maintenance benefit and expected behavior;
  • the report path, selected finding IDs, release identity, and baseline SHAs;
  • owned files, validation commands, and explicit exclusions;
  • for removal, candidate paths and the supported contracts and evidence to retain.

Refresh immediately before implementation:

bash
node scripts/bindings-audit.mjs revalidate --input <external-report.json> --finding <id>

Repeat --finding for multiple selections. Compare relevant files in the actual implementation checkout with the audit's file fingerprints, including missing, new, and untracked files. A fresh remote alone does not validate local work. Resolve differences by inspecting and reassessing against the current baseline; preserve unrelated changes. Do not implement from failed acquisition, stale findings, a changed source identity, or unresolved prior invalidation. Follow the reassessment rules in the audit reference; timestamps or SHA edits alone cannot refresh proof.

Read ownership-and-removal.md before selecting evidence or deleting files. Use the shared observed-source policy: ordinary dependencies retain identity, exports, public types, package consumption, and focused integration checks; adapters add their owned lifecycle checks; copied React work retains provenance, mapping, and pristine/adapted parity. Unknown or legacy ownership keeps strict requirements until explicitly validated and migrated.

Implement the smallest change that meets the capsule. Preserve supported imports, public types, behavior, applicable licenses, and relevant adapter tests. A request for more wrapper imports does not justify copying an upstream tree. Before adding unexpected vendored trees, bundles, shared-tool changes, or substantial growth, reassess necessity and scope; ask only if the new work requires a missing decision or authority. Continue already authorized routine work without permission loops.

Run the selected evidence, repair relevant failures in the owning package, and refresh the selected findings again before delivery. Use report --input ... --finding <id> for the final pass. If upstream advanced during implementation, reassess affected conclusions and rerun affected checks against replacement baselines. Keep intended implementation differences separate from baseline proof.

Independently review the actual diff against the original consumer problem and capsule before committing or pushing. Passing checks do not justify unnecessary files. Remove unrelated additions. Follow create-a-pr when shipping is authorized, preserving authorization already given; the skill grants no extra shipping scope.

Deliver the report path and selected IDs, changed paths, observed checks, remaining uncertainty, and current freshness. For reduction, report before/after file and byte counts separately from runtime, types, lifecycle, package-consumption, and license evidence. Claim only the compatibility actually demonstrated.
