What it does

Upgrade Pegasus is an agent skill from saaspegasus/django-boilerplate. Upgrade to the latest version of SaaS Pegasus. Use when the user mentions 'upgrade pegasus,' or 'pegasus upgrade.'

Its SKILL.md is about 620 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. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: The original SaaS Boilerplate for Django, trusted by thousands. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user mentions upgrade pegasus
  • Pegasus upgrade

Example prompts

  • “upgrade pegasus,”
  • “pegasus upgrade.”
  • “/upgrade-pegasus”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Run git fetch origin to see the new branch
  2. The branch name will be in the format pegasus-- (e.g. pegasus-2026.2.1.3-1771252378.779356)
  3. git checkout to switch to it (it will already be up to date from the push)
  4. Merge the user's default branch (usually main) into the upgrade branch using your "resolve pegasus conflicts" skill. That skill owns the…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e9d11b0. 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:

    • 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

Upgrade Pegasus loads about 621 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 33 tokens; SKILL.md has 312 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~33
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~621

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.

Upgrading Pegasus

Instructions

This skill helps users upgrade their SaaS Pegasus codebase.

Use the pegasus-cli to trigger the upgrade. It can be called via the pegasus command in the project's python environment.

You first need to list the user's project and find the right one.

pegasus projects list

You should be able to compare the project names to what's defined pegasus-config.yaml to find the right id.

Before running any pegasus commands, confirm auth with pegasus auth status (non-interactive). If it reports unauthenticated, ask the user to run pegasus auth login in a separate terminal — it's interactive and will hang if invoked from this session. See the pegasus-projects skill's Setup section for the full flow.

Before pushing
  1. Ensure main is up to date: Run git checkout main && git pull before starting the upgrade. The merge will be against main, so it must have the latest changes.
Pushing

Use the CLI flags to avoid interactive prompts:

# Upgrade to latest stable version (non-interactive):
pegasus projects push <project_id> --upgrade

# Upgrade to latest dev version (non-interactive):
pegasus projects push <project_id> --dev

Important: Always pass --upgrade or --dev to avoid interactive prompts that require stdin. Without these flags, the CLI will show an interactive menu that doesn't work well in non-interactive environments.

If the user doesn't specify stable vs dev, default to --upgrade (stable).

Custom PR title

If the user asks for a specific pull request title (e.g. "use PR title X" or "call the PR Y"), pass it via --pr-title:

pegasus projects push <project_id> --upgrade --pr-title "Your custom title"

If the user doesn't mention a title, omit the flag — the server generates a sensible default based on the version.

After the push completes
  1. Run git fetch origin to see the new branch
  2. The branch name will be in the format pegasus-<version>-<timestamp> (e.g. pegasus-2026.2.1.3-1771252378.779356)
  3. git checkout <branch-name> to switch to it (it will already be up to date from the push)
  4. Merge the user's default branch (usually main) into the upgrade branch using your "resolve pegasus conflicts" skill. That skill owns the post-merge verification and push flow.
