Update tools/scripts/generatebinarybuildmatrix.py when a PyTorch release goes live.

  • Works in 7 steps: Determine the new stable version → Advance CURRENT_STABLE_VERSION → Promote release-channel arches to match… → …
  • Tasks that involve Deep learning
  • SKILL.md covers When to use this skill, Target files, Instructions and Common pitfalls
  • Calls python3 and git

What it does

Release Go Live Binary Build Matrix is an agent skill from pytorch/test-infra. Update tools/scripts/generatebinarybuildmatrix.py when a PyTorch release goes live. Advances CURRENTSTABLEVERSION to the new stable, promotes the release-channel CUDA/ROCm arches to match the candidate/test channel, and regenerates the JSON test fixtures. Triggered by mentions of "release go live", "advance stable version", "promote release matrix", or "update binary build matrix" for a new PyTorch X.Y release.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k 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 Test data and fixtures. It works with PyTorch and CUDA. The repository describes itself as: This repository hosts code that supports the testing infrastructure for the PyTorch organization. For example, this repo hosts the logic to track disabled tests and slow tests…

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Deep learning
  • Tasks that involve Test data and fixtures

Example prompts

  • “release go live”
  • “advance stable version”
  • “promote release matrix”
  • “/release-go-live-binary-build-matrix”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Determine the new stable version
  2. Advance CURRENT_STABLE_VERSION
  3. Promote release-channel arches to match test
  4. Regenerate test fixtures (MUST use the shell script)
  5. Run tests
  6. Verify the diff is minimal
  7. Commit and PR

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 71b3093. 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:

    • python3
    • git

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, 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 Go Live Binary Build Matrix loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 114 tokens; SKILL.md has 561 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~114
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k

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 561 words (~1,690 tokens).

“Updates tools/scripts/generate_binary_build_matrix.py and the associated test fixtures when a PyTorch release goes live. This mirrors prior PRs such as:”
