What it does

Cherry Pick is an agent skill from vaadin/flow-components. Cherry-pick a PR to a target version branch

Its SKILL.md is about 610 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 Java and Git. The repository describes itself as: Java counterpart of Vaadin Web Components.

When your agent uses it

  • Development work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/cherry-pick”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Edit, Bash(git:*), Bash(gh:*), Bash(mvn:*)

Workflow steps

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

  1. Gather PR information using gh pr view
  2. Prepare branches
  3. Cherry-pick the merge commit
  4. Verify the changes
  5. Commit the resolved cherry-pick
  6. Push and create PR
  7. Update original PR

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2268d3e. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Edit
    • Bash(git:*)
    • Bash(gh:*)
    • Bash(mvn:*)

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git
    • gh
    • mvn

    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

Cherry Pick loads about 613 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 14 tokens; SKILL.md has 336 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~14
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~613

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 336 words (~613 tokens).

“Cherry-pick the PR with the GitHub URL $0 to the $1 branch. This command is only run when automated cherry-picking failed, so expect merge conflicts.”
