What it does

GitHub Delivery Watchdog is an agent skill from OpenHands/extensions. Periodically check pull requests and merge only current heads with independent review, tests, and passing CI.

Its SKILL.md is about 490 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 10 other files, including scripts (for example `.plugin/plugin.json`, `README.md` and `commands/github-delivery-watchdog.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Pull requests. It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Public registry for OpenHands extensions. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Pull requests

Example prompts

  • “/github-delivery-watchdog”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d008b81. 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

    Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    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

GitHub Delivery Watchdog loads about 488 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 34 tokens; SKILL.md has 240 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~34
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~488

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

GitHub delivery watchdog

This is a deterministic scheduled host command. It creates no agent or conversation and needs no agent profile. Configure a repository-scoped fine-grained PAT with Contents and Issues read/write plus Pull requests, Actions, Commit statuses, and Metadata read. Contents write permits merge; Issues write retains the review label when the branch is updated. Never put the token value in the automation definition.

Package scripts/worker.py as worker.py and the shared scripts/github_client.py as github_client.py. The catalog bundle declares these exact files. Its config.json supplies repos, branch_prefix, and the saved secret name. The shared GitHub client resolves only that named secret. Automation owns scheduling and cancellation.

Set branch_prefix (default openhands/issue), base_branch (defaults to the repository's default branch), and required_workflow_ids when particular Actions workflows must run. The watchdog requires software-factory/tests and software-factory/review success statuses on the exact head, all other statuses and Actions passing, a current base, a non-draft PR, and GitHub reporting it mergeable. Missing, pending, failed, or inaccessible evidence does not permit merge. A changed head requires fresh review and tests. When an accepted branch is behind the base, the watchdog asks GitHub to update it and retains the review trigger label; it considers the new head only on a later run. The merge request includes the expected head SHA.

Actions are optional when required_workflow_ids is empty; the two acceptance statuses remain mandatory. Configure workflow IDs when GitHub Actions must also supply evidence. Branch protection remains GitHub's final merge gate.
