At a glance

Handle main-to-next merge tasks including conflict resolution, changeset cleanup, and CI fix-ups.

  • Merging main into next
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Tasks that involve Static sites and blogs

What it does

Merge is an agent skill from withastro/astro, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Handle main-to-next merge tasks including conflict resolution, changeset cleanup, and CI fix-ups. Use when merging main into next.

Its SKILL.md is about 150 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files (for example `clean-changesets.md`, `evals/evals.json` and `fix-ci.md`).

It works with Astro. The repository describes itself as: The web framework for content-driven websites.

When your agent uses it

  • Merging main into next
  • Tasks that involve Static sites and blogs

Example prompts

  • “/merge”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3cbd72c. 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

    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

Merge loads about 153 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 34 tokens; SKILL.md has 51 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~34
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~153

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 51 words (~153 tokens).

“Handle the main-to-next merge process. This skill has sub-skills for each stage:”
