What it does
Golem Upgrade is an agent skill from ThinkR-open/golem. Upgrades the golem Shiny app with the newest golem package features. Triggers on: - "upgrade my Shiny app" - "upgrade app" - "upgrade Shiny app" - "upgrade with newest golem features" - "upgrade to newest golem features" - "update my Shiny app" - "update app" - "update Shiny app" - "update with newest golem features" - "update to newest golem features" Do not trigger on: - if outside an R Shiny app - if outside an R Shiny app which is not golem based
Its SKILL.md is about 660 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including assets (for example `assets/NEWS.md` and `assets/lookup_table.md`).
The repository describes itself as: A Framework for Building Robust Shiny Apps.
Example prompts
- “upgrade my Shiny app”
- “upgrade app”
- “upgrade Shiny app”
- “/golem-upgrade”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- dev/ folder
- R/app_ui.R & R/app_server.R
- R/app_config & R/run_app.R
- inst/golem-config
- old deprecated functions: to find deprecated features refer to
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit fed0c3c. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
cran.r-project.org
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
Golem Upgrade loads about 657 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 123 tokens; SKILL.md has 313 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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 313 words (~657 tokens).
“An old golem Shiny app which has been built with an older version of {golem} gets an upgrade. Upgrade means getting access to newest features, and updates of meta files and information.”
