repo-automations

repo-automations is a skill for Codex from EzraApple/skills-init. It costs 83 tokens per session (663 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 11d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 55 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Repo automations

Use this skill as a router and ownership guide, not as a mandatory automation framework. Preserve the repository's established conventions unless they are the problem.

Orient

  1. Read the repository's agent guidance and automation documentation.
  2. Locate the actual automation surfaces: playbooks, scripts, workflow files, scheduler configuration, webhook handlers, and run records.
  3. If the request names an automation, find and read its playbook before acting. Search this directory and the repository rather than assuming a fixed layout.
  4. Confirm which system owns the trigger, checkout or deployed version, credentials, execution, and delivery. Do not infer runtime state from repository files alone.

Choose the owning layer

Use the smallest split that fits the existing system:

  • Keep reviewable behavior, rules, and validation in the repository when practical.
  • Keep timing, event bindings, runtime identity, and secret grants in the scheduler or automation host when that is where they naturally belong.
  • Prefer code or workflow configuration for deterministic transformation and transport.
  • Prefer an agent playbook when the work requires investigation, judgment, synthesis, or flexible tool use.

Do not migrate working provider-owned logic merely to conform to this pattern.

Route through playbooks

When a repository keeps automation playbooks beside this skill, use ordinary, frontmatter-free Markdown such as <slug>.md. This keeps the root skill discoverable without advertising every routine as an independent skill.

For a new repeated or consequential automation, start from TEMPLATE.md. Keep only the sections that improve execution; a short automation may need only a paragraph and a procedure.

Keep scheduler prompts thin when the host can read repository files: point to the playbook instead of duplicating its behavior. Add automation-specific trigger terms to this skill's description only when interactive discovery actually needs them.

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.
