At a glance

Enforce strict line-by-line RPython/PyPy structural parity for changes in the majit/pyre codebase.

  • Works in 4 steps: Parse invocation → Parity audit → Execute the follow-up task under parity → …
  • SKILL.md covers First principles, Behavior under /parity, Finding the counterpart:… and Signals of NEW-DEVIATION, plus 3 more sections
  • Calls git, cargo and python3

What it does

Parity is an agent skill from youknowone/pyre. Enforce strict line-by-line RPython/PyPy structural parity for changes in the majit/pyre codebase. Invoked via /parity, usually combined with a follow-up task (e.g. /parity continue

Its SKILL.md is about 9.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: PyRe will be a very fast and compliant implementation of the Python language.

Example prompts

  • “/parity”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Parse invocation
  2. Parity audit
  3. Execute the follow-up task under parity
  4. Verify

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 08b7c10. 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
    • cargo
    • python3
    • rg

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, 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

Parity loads about 9.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 5,112 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~48
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~9.7k

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 5,112 words (~9,679 tokens).

“Apply these to every decision made while this skill is active, even if the user's follow-up task seems to point elsewhere.”

How do I install Parity in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add youknowone/pyre --skill parity -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/parity in youknowone/pyre) into .claude/skills/parity in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Parity in Codex?

Can I use Parity in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add youknowone/pyre --skill parity -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/parity, .gemini/skills/parity, .github/skills/parity and .opencode/skills/parity in your project.

What does Parity need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Parity needs the command-line tools its instructions call (git, cargo, python3 and rg). Our summary lists: Python 3.

Does Parity access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Parity safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Parity use?

Parity has a licence file (the repository's licence) that doesn't match a standard licence. Read it on GitHub before reusing the skill.

How many tokens does Parity use?

About 9.7k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 39k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Parity?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Parity: Structured Data (thedaviddias/Front-End-Checklist, 74k stars), Bio Structural Biology Modern Structure Prediction (FreedomIntelligence/OpenClaw-Medical-Skills, 3.1k stars), List Structure (thedaviddias/Front-End-Checklist, 74k stars) and Bio Structural Biology Structure Io (GPTomics/bioSkills, 1.2k stars).
