Repository contribution workflow. An agent skill from StudentWeis/ropy.

  • Any code change that should become a commit — adding features
  • SKILL.md covers Conventions, The flow and CI failures
  • Calls git and gh

What it does

Contribution Flow is an agent skill from StudentWeis/ropy. Repository contribution workflow. Use for any code change that should become a commit — adding features, fixing bugs, refactoring, or any source modification. Drives the full Issue → Branch → PR → Merge process.

Its SKILL.md is about 710 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 Refactoring. The repository describes itself as: Cross-platform, lightweight clipboard manager written in Rust and GPUI. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Any code change that should become a commit — adding features
  • Any source modification

Example prompts

  • “/contribution-flow”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Open the Issue
  2. Branch from fresh main
  3. Implement
  4. Precheck
  5. Commit
  6. Push & Open the PR
  7. Iterate on review
  8. Merge

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4e784df. 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
    • gh

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git and gh, 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

Contribution Flow loads about 705 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 272 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~57
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~705

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.

Repository contribution workflow. Use for any code change that should become a commit — adding features, fixing bugs, refactoring, or any source modification. Drives the full Issue → Branch → PR → Merge process.

Contribution Flow

Issue → Branch → PR → Merge workflow for any code change in this repo. Coding standards live in the project's development guidelines (e.g. AGENTS.md); this skill only covers the process.

Conventions

Shared vocabulary used throughout the flow below: <type> and <scope> placeholders in every step refer back here.

  • Types: feat | fix | docs | style | refactor | perf | test | build | ci | chore | revert
  • Scopes: infer from the project's top-level module/directory structure (e.g. core, api, ui).
  • Subject: lowercase, imperative mood, no trailing period.
  • Consistency: the <type> must match across the Issue title, branch prefix, every commit, and the PR title. The <scope> is required on commits and the PR title, optional on the Issue title, and omitted from the branch name.

The flow

1. Open the Issue

Pick the appropriate issue template from .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/ — using a template is mandatory. Fill it into /tmp/issue-body.md, then:

bash
gh issue create --title "<type>: ..." --label "<appropriate label>" --body-file /tmp/issue-body.md

Capture the returned number as <N>.

Skipping the Issue: only when the user explicitly asks. Proceed to Step 2 with a descriptive branch name and note the skip in the PR description.

2. Branch from fresh main
bash
git checkout main && git pull --ff-only
git checkout -b <type>/<kebab-slug> # e.g. feat/grid-layout, fix/clipboard-empty-x11
3. Implement

Follow the project's development guidelines.

4. Precheck

Must pass before any commit:

bash
./scripts/precheck.sh
5. Commit
bash
git commit -am "<type>(<scope>): <short description>

Refs #<N>"

Multiple commits are fine — they are squashed on merge.

6. Push & Open the PR

Fill in the PR template from .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md into /tmp/pr-body.md — using the template is mandatory. Then:

bash
git push -u origin HEAD
gh pr create --base main --title "<type>(<scope>): ..." --body-file /tmp/pr-body.md

Report the PR URL back to the user.

7. Iterate on review

Push additional commits to the same branch. Do not force-push once a reviewer has left feedback, unless the user explicitly requests it.

8. Merge

Only on explicit user instruction.

bash
gh pr merge <N> --squash --delete-branch && \
  git checkout main && git pull --ff-only && \
  git fetch --prune # Cleanup stale remote-tracking branches

CI failures

Inspect logs with gh run view --log-failed.
