Depot CI

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Migrating GitHub Actions workflows to Depot CI
• Running depot ci migrate
• Managing Depot CI secrets and variables
• Running workflows with depot ci run

Example prompts

• “Use the depot-ci skill to configure and manages Depot CI, a drop-in replacement for GitHub Actions that runs workflows entirely within Depot”
• “/depot-ci”

Requirements

• A credential in NPM_TOKEN
• A credential in DEPOT_TOKEN

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Install the Depot Code Access GitHub App
2. 2Migrate workflows
3. 3Import secrets and variables

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 812e5c6. 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

  No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are yaml and bash).

  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:

  • identity.depot.dev

  Also links to:

  • docs.github.com

  From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

• Credentials

  Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

  • NPM_TOKEN
  • DEPOT_TOKEN

  From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Depot CI loads about 6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~23k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 240 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,303 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~240

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~6k

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~23k

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

• NoteRuns commands with sudoSKILL.md:177

  - run: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y your-tool

• NoteRuns commands with sudoSKILL.md:192

  - run: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y your-tool

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 2,303 words (~6,013 tokens).
