Install Pyrefly Type Coverage

skills CLI
$ npx skills add pytorch/pytorch --skill pyrefly-type-coverage -a claude-code

Project install by default; add -g for ~/.claude/skills/.

GitHub CLI
$ gh skill install pytorch/pytorch pyrefly-type-coverage --agent claude-code

Project scope by default; add --scope user for a personal install. Needs GitHub CLI 2.90.0 or later (public preview).

Manual copy
$ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch.git skills-src && mkdir -p .claude/skills && cp -r skills-src/.agents/skills/pyrefly-type-coverage .claude/skills/pyrefly-type-coverage && rm -rf skills-src

Use ~/.claude/skills/ instead of .claude/skills for a personal install. The folder must contain SKILL.md.

What it does

Pyrefly Type Coverage is an agent skill from pytorch/pytorch. Migrate a file to use stricter Pyrefly type checking with annotations required for all functions, classes, and attributes.

Its SKILL.md is about 3k 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 Development, covering Type safety. The repository describes itself as: Tensors and Dynamic neural networks in Python with strong GPU acceleration.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Type safety

Example prompts

  • “/pyrefly-type-coverage”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Remove file-level type-check suppressions
  2. Add a sub-config entry to pyrefly.toml
  3. Run pyrefly
  4. Add annotations
  5. Iterate
  6. Lint
  7. Test

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 84af535. 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:

    • python

    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

Pyrefly Type Coverage loads about 3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 36 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,367 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~36
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3k

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 1,367 words (~2,978 tokens).

“are missing, stop and ask whether a conda environment needs activating** — don't install or substitute (per repo CLAUDE.md).”
