What it does

Document Public APIs is an agent skill from pytorch/pytorch. Document undocumented public APIs in PyTorch by removing functions from coverageignorefunctions and coverageignoreclasses in docs/source/conf.py, running Sphinx coverage, and adding the appropriate autodoc directives to the correct .md or .rst doc files. Use when a user asks to remove functions from conf.py ignore lists.

Its SKILL.md is about 4.2k 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 AI & LLM Engineering, covering Deep learning and Technical documentation. It works with PyTorch and Python. The repository describes itself as: Tensors and Dynamic neural networks in Python with strong GPU acceleration.

When your agent uses it

  • A user asks to remove functions from conf.py ignore lists
  • Tasks that involve Deep learning
  • Tasks that involve Technical documentation

Example prompts

  • “/document-public-apis”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Select module groups to document
  2. Present the batch to the user
  3. Comment out entries in conf.py
  4. Run Sphinx coverage
  5. Add documentation directives
  6. Verify with coverage
  7. Report progress
  8. Clean up commented-out entries in conf.py

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit aa0dab7. 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:

    • make
    • python
    • pip

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

  • Network

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

Document Public APIs loads about 4.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 87 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,814 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~87
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.2k

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 1,814 words (~4,159 tokens).

“This skill documents undocumented public APIs in PyTorch by removing entries from the coverage ignore lists in docs/source/conf.py and adding Sphinx autodoc directives (e.g., autosummary, currentmodule, autoclass, automodule) to the corresponding .md or .rst doc source files in docs/source/.”
