[skill-optimizer] Daily Skill Optimizer Improvements - 2026-08-02

[github-actions]

Summary

• Run mode: dry-run
• Status: ✅ (exit code 0, but suite execution was skipped)

Key Findings

1. Set OPENROUTER_API_KEY as a repo/org secret to enable real benchmark runs. Expected impact: unlocks actual skill-optimizer scoring instead of a no-op dry-run, giving real signal on skill quality regressions.
2. Consolidate oversized skill files (developer/SKILL.md at 2071 lines, custom-agents/SKILL.md and gh-agent-session/SKILL.md/gh-agent-task/SKILL.md each ~386-591 lines) into smaller, task-scoped sub-skills. Expected impact: reduces first-load context cost per the repo's own lazy-loading policy and improves optimizer/benchmark signal quality by making individual skills easier to evaluate in isolation.
3. Pin/upgrade skill-optimizer npm dependencies to resolve the 19 reported vulnerabilities (9 high, 8 moderate, 2 low) surfaced in npm-ci.log. Expected impact: removes noisy npm audit warnings from every run log and reduces supply-chain risk in the optimizer pipeline itself.

Evidence from Artifact

• summary.json: {"repository":"github/gh-aw","run_mode":"dry-run","run_status":0,"run_url":"https://github.com/github/gh-aw/actions/runs/30731275907"}
• run.log: dry-run: Docker available but OPENROUTER_API_KEY not set; skipping suite execution — confirms no benchmark suite ran and no skill-scoring evidence is available this cycle.
• npm-ci.log: 19 vulnerabilities (2 low, 8 moderate, 9 high) plus allow-scripts warnings for esbuild@0.27.7, koffi@2.16.0, protobufjs@7.5.5 — install scripts not yet reviewed/approved.
• npm-build.log: build succeeded (tsc && chmod +x dist/cli.js), no errors.
• clone.log: source clone of fastxyz/skill-optimizer succeeded with no issues.
• Repo skill inventory: .github/skills/developer/SKILL.md (2071 lines), .github/skills/custom-agents/SKILL.md (591 lines), .github/skills/gh-agent-session/SKILL.md and .github/skills/gh-agent-task/SKILL.md (386 lines each) — significantly larger than the median skill file (~100-200 lines), making these prime candidates for splitting.

Recommendations

1. Configure OPENROUTER_API_KEY in repository/organization secrets so future scheduled runs execute the full benchmark suite instead of falling back to dry-run mode.
2. Split developer/SKILL.md and other oversized skill files into smaller, intent-scoped sub-skills to align with the repo's lazy-loading policy and improve benchmarkable skill granularity.
3. Run npm audit fix (or pin safe versions) for the skill-optimizer toolchain to eliminate the 19 flagged vulnerabilities and review pending allow-scripts entries.
