OpenShell: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/update-docs/SKILL.md

update-docs-from-commits is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from NVIDIA/OpenShell. It costs 80 tokens per session (2,381 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A documentation workflow that scans recent Git commits for user-facing changes and drafts or updates the matching documentation pages. Git commits are saved records of code changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before a release or after several changes to identify relevant commits, check the documentation contribution rules, and prepare updates in the docs tree.
Why use it?
It helps prevent the documentation from falling behind after features and fixes are added.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is NVIDIA/OpenShell's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on OpenShell itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything OpenShell configures →

About the project

OpenShell is a runtime for autonomous AI agents that executes them in sandboxed environments governed by declarative policies. It is used to restrict agents' access to files, credentials, data, and network resources, and the catalogue includes skills and workflows for operating and contributing to it.

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

update-docs-from-commits 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 1mo 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.

Update Docs from Commits

Scan recent git history for commits that affect user-facing behavior and draft documentation updates for each.

Prerequisites

  • You must be in the OpenShell git repository.
  • The published docs tree must exist under docs/.
  • Read docs/CONTRIBUTING.mdx before writing any content. It contains the current style guide and formatting rules.

When to Use

  • After a batch of features or fixes has landed and docs may be stale.
  • Before a release, to catch any doc gaps.
  • When a contributor asks "what docs need updating?"

Step 1: Identify Relevant Commits

Determine the commit range. The user may provide one explicitly (e.g., "since v0.2.0" or "last 30 commits"). If not, default to commits since the head of the main branch.

# Commits since a tag
git log v0.2.0..HEAD --oneline --no-merges

# Or last 50 commits
git log -50 --oneline --no-merges

Filter to commits that are likely to affect docs. Look for these signals:

  1. Commit type: feat, fix, refactor, perf commits often change behavior. docs commits are already doc changes. chore, ci, test commits rarely need doc updates.
  2. Files changed: Changes to crates/openshell-cli/, python/, proto/, deploy/, gateway config parsing, driver config structs, or policy-related code are high-signal.
  3. Ignore: Changes limited to tests/, e2e/, .github/, tasks/, or internal-only modules.
# Show files changed per commit to assess impact
git log v0.2.0..HEAD --oneline --no-merges --name-only

Step 2: Map Commits to Doc Pages

For each relevant commit, determine which doc page(s) it affects. Use this mapping as a starting point:

Code area Likely doc page(s)
crates/openshell-cli/ (gateway commands) docs/how-it-works/gateways/overview.mdx
crates/openshell-cli/ (sandbox commands) docs/how-it-works/sandboxes/overview.mdx
crates/openshell-cli/ (provider commands) docs/how-it-works/providers/overview.mdx
crates/openshell-cli/ (new top-level command) May need a new page or docs/reference/ entry
crates/openshell-server/src/config_file.rs or gateway TOML parsing docs/how-it-works/gateways/configuration.mdx
crates/openshell-server/src/cli.rs gateway config merge/default behavior docs/how-it-works/gateways/configuration.mdx
crates/openshell-driver-*/ config structs or driver defaults docs/how-it-works/gateways/configuration.mdx, docs/how-it-works/sandboxes/runtimes.mdx
deploy/helm/openshell/templates/gateway-config.yaml docs/how-it-works/gateways/configuration.mdx, docs/how-it-works/sandboxes/runtimes.mdx, Helm docs if values change
Proxy or policy code docs/how-it-works/policies/overview.mdx, docs/how-it-works/policies/schema.mdx

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.
