repo-automations

repo-automations is a skill for Codex from EzraApple/skills-init. It costs 33 tokens per session (354 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for handling recurring or event-triggered work owned by a software repository. It helps identify whether the behavior belongs in code, a documented procedure, or an outside scheduler.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating, moving, running, reviewing, or debugging scheduled jobs, webhooks, event-driven tasks, or agent-run automations. It helps locate playbooks, scripts, workflows, scheduler settings, and run records.
Why use it?
It prevents automation from being placed in the wrong system or run from an unclear version of the code. It also clarifies who controls triggers, credentials, execution, and delivery.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

repo-automations scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 18d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Repository automations

Find the existing playbook, code, workflow, and runtime before changing the automation. Establish which system owns the trigger, deployed revision, credentials, execution state, and delivery. Repository configuration alone cannot establish what actually ran.

Keep deterministic transformation and transport in code or workflow configuration. Use an agent playbook for work that needs investigation or judgment. Keep scheduling and runtime grants with their owning host. Preserve working conventions rather than introducing a new automation framework.

When the host can read the repository, its prompt should point to the playbook available in that runtime's checkout. Avoid a second copy of the procedure. Use ordinary Markdown for individual routines so each one does not become a separate discoverable skill. TEMPLATE.md is a starting point for new routines; omit fields that do not help.

For retries or external writes, define a stable deduplication key, the single owner of each write, and the state to read before retrying. A partial operation needs a recovery or compensation path. During migrations, prevent old and new writers from overlapping unless duplicate execution is safe. A playbook does not grant permission to send messages or make other external changes.

Check the real output and run record. For failures, isolate whether the trigger fired, the correct revision ran, access was available, the procedure selected the right data, and the destination accepted the result. Fix the owning layer; do not add prose to compensate for a scheduler or access problem.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
