Propose a turbo skill improvement upstream by filing a GitHub issue against the turbo repo.

  • Works in 3 steps: Identify the Proposed Change → Craft Contribution Context → Run $create-issue Skill
  • The user asks to contribute to turbo
  • SKILL.md covers Step 1: Identify the Proposed…, Step 2: Craft Contribution… and Step 3: Run $create-issue Skill
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Contribute Turbo is an agent skill from tobihagemann/turbo. Propose a turbo skill improvement upstream by filing a GitHub issue against the turbo repo. Use when the user asks to "contribute to turbo", "submit turbo changes", "contribute back", "suggest a turbo improvement", or "upstream my changes".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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 GitHub and Turborepo. The repository describes itself as: Reusable workflows for planning, building, reviewing, and shipping with Claude Code and Codex. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to contribute to turbo
  • Submit turbo changes
  • Contribute back
  • Suggest a turbo improvement

Example prompts

  • “contribute to turbo”
  • “submit turbo changes”
  • “contribute back”
  • “/contribute-turbo”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Identify the Proposed Change
  2. Craft Contribution Context
  3. Run $create-issue Skill

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 931eda5. 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 (its code samples are bash).

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Contribute Turbo loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 64 tokens; SKILL.md has 511 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~64
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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.

Contribute Turbo

Propose an improvement to a turbo skill as an issue on tobihagemann/turbo.

Step 1: Identify the Proposed Change

Confirm the local repo exists:

bash
test -d ~/.turbo/repo

If it does not, tell the user to run the Turbo setup first and stop.

Detect skills whose installed copy has drifted from the repo baseline:

bash
for skill in ~/.agents/skills/*/; do
  name=$(basename "$skill")
  repo_dir=~/.turbo/repo/codex/skills/"$name"
  [ -d "$repo_dir" ] || continue
  diff -rq "$skill" "$repo_dir" >/dev/null 2>&1 && continue
  echo "$name"
done

For each drifted skill, read both versions of every file that differs and the single version of every file present on one side only. Classify each hunk and each one-sided file:

  • Correction — a session edit meant to improve the skill upstream. Include it in the proposal.
  • Customization — a persistent local addition that belongs to this machine only (extra workflow steps, personal paths, machine-specific notes, internal references). Leave it out of the proposal.
  • Upstream-newer — content the repo copy carries and the installed copy lacks, left behind by a Skip or Exclude during an earlier update. Leave it out of the proposal.
  • Ambiguous — use request_user_input to confirm classification.

When no corrections survive classification, take the proposed change from conversation context instead. When the conversation describes no change either, tell the user there is nothing to contribute and stop.

Present the corrections in a summary table:

| # | Skill | Change Summary |
|---|-------|----------------|
| 1 | $evaluate-findings | Added handling for security-default findings |
| 2 | $self-improve | Clarified routing for trusted reviewer feedback |

Use request_user_input to confirm which corrections to propose.

Step 2: Craft Contribution Context

For each change, construct a "why" explanation. The goal: the turbo maintainer should understand what happened and why the existing instructions were insufficient, without learning anything about the contributor's project.

Use this template:

During [general workflow description], the skill's instructions [what was missing or wrong]. This caused [what happened]. The change [what it does] so that [benefit].

Example:

During a code review session, the evaluate-findings skill encountered a finding with security-default severity. The existing instructions only handled critical, high, medium, and low severities, causing the finding to be silently dropped. The change adds security-default to the severity handling table so these findings are properly triaged.

The maintainer implements the change, so state it concretely alongside the "why": the file path under codex/skills/<name>/, the step or section it belongs in, and the exact replacement text or a diff.

Privacy Filter

Before finalizing, verify the whole proposal — the "why" explanation, the cited paths, and the proposed replacement text — contains none of the following:

  • Project or repo names
  • File paths from the user's project
  • Company or product names
  • API keys, URLs, or credentials
  • Business logic or domain-specific terminology that identifies the project
  • User names beyond the contributor's GitHub handle

Output the drafted proposal as text. Then use request_user_input for approval. The user must approve the proposal before proceeding.

Step 3: Run $create-issue Skill

Use update_plan to track each approved concern, restating any remaining steps of a parent workflow alongside them. Process concerns in order, one concern per issue.

For each concern, run the $create-issue skill, filing against tobihagemann/turbo rather than the current project's repo. The approved text from Step 2 is the issue body; leave it as approved rather than re-deriving it from conversation context.

Report each issue URL.

Then call update_plan to mark this step completed and continue with the next step of the active workflow.
