What it does

GitHub To Origin is an agent skill from TheOrcDev/skills. Agent runbook for moving a repository from GitHub to Cursor Origin code hosting, including repointing Vercel so production keeps deploying. The agent executes every step itself and verifies each one. Use when the user wants to move, migrate, or switch a repo to Origin, mentions Cursor Origin hosting, says "move to origin", or asks why pushes to Origin are not deploying.

Its SKILL.md is about 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 DevOps & Cloud, covering Runbooks and postmortems. It works with GitHub and Vercel. The repository describes itself as: Skills for True Dev Warriors.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants to move
  • Switch a repo to Origin
  • Mentions Cursor Origin hosting
  • Says move to origin

Example prompts

  • “move to origin”
  • “/github-to-origin”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Preflight
  2. Snapshot
  3. Authenticate
  4. Find or create the Origin repo
  5. Push everything
  6. Verify parity, then repoint remotes
  7. Detach from GitHub on the Cursor side
  8. Repoint Vercel at Origin
  9. Prove the deploy, headlessly
  10. CI stops. Say so out loud.
  11. Aftermath

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit bb7eaa5. 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
    • vercel
    • curl

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • origin.cursor.com

    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

GitHub To Origin loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 97 tokens; SKILL.md has 888 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~97
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 888 words (~2,013 tokens).

“You are the agent. The user says "move this repo to Origin" and you do the rest: run the commands, verify every step with another command, and report what you proved, not what you assume. Ask the user only for…”
