What it does

Release Docs Sync is an agent skill from opencrvs/opencrvs-core. Make the v<version.0 directory of the opencrvs/documentation repo reflect what an OpenCRVS core release ships — find missing and outdated pages, draft the edits on a branch. Run as /release-docs-sync <version [path-to-documentation-checkout].

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k 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 Writing & Content, covering Technical writing. The repository describes itself as: A global solution to civil registration.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Technical writing

Example prompts

  • “/release-docs-sync”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Set up both sides
  2. Build the change → page worklist
  3. Edit
  4. Hand back

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0090b5f. 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
    • gh

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git and gh, 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

Release Docs Sync loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 66 tokens; SKILL.md has 679 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~66
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

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 679 words (~1,353 tokens).

“Bring opencrvs/documentation → v.0/ in line with core . Arguments: $ARGUMENTS`.”
