Codecov Skill

An open-agent skill for inspecting and managing Codecov coverage, API data, upload setup, and repository configuration.

This repository provides:

• a reusable codecov-management skill (skills/codecov-management/SKILL.md)
• a Python CLI helper to inspect Codecov repositories and validate setup
• GitHub automation for CI, Codecov uploads, and release packaging

---

What this skill can do

With a Codecov token in an environment variable, you can:

• summarize repository coverage state from Codecov
• inspect branches, commits, commit reports, report trees, file coverage, flags, and pull requests
• compare two commits through the Codecov API
• validate a local codecov.yml
• generate starter codecov.yml and GitHub Actions upload snippets
• fall back to direct API calls for unsupported Codecov endpoints

The helper is repository-agnostic: pass --repo to any local checkout, or pass explicit --service, --owner, and --repo-name.

Agent compatibility

This package uses the shared skills layout: skills/codecov-management/SKILL.md with its bundled agents/, assets/, references/, and scripts/ directories underneath the skill folder. That shape lets npx skills pull the complete payload instead of discovering only a root SKILL.md.

Use --agent universal for agents that consume the shared .agents/skills layout. Use --agent "*" only when you intentionally want to install to every supported agent directory.

npx skills add Nick2bad4u/Codecov-Skill -g --agent universal -y
npx skills add Nick2bad4u/Codecov-Skill -g --agent "*" -y
npm install --save-dev codecov-management-skill
npx skills experimental_sync --agent universal -y

OpenAI-specific display metadata lives in skills/codecov-management/agents/openai.yaml. The portable skill contract is skills/codecov-management/SKILL.md plus the referenced assets/, references/, and scripts/ files in that same skill folder.

---

Publishing

The skill is packaged for GitHub releases and npm as codecov-management-skill.

Verify the package locally before publishing:

npm run release:verify
npm publish --access public --provenance

GitHub Actions publishes with npm OIDC trusted publishing using npm publish --access public --provenance. Configure the npm package trusted publisher for repository Nick2bad4u/Codecov-Skill and workflow .github/workflows/release-skill.yml before the first publish.

Quick start

1) Prerequisites

• Python 3.14 for the strict local validation setup
• A Codecov API token exported to an environment variable for private repositories or authenticated endpoints

2) Set your token

PowerShell

$env:CODECOV_TOKEN = "<your-token>"

Bash

export CODECOV_TOKEN="<your-token>"

3) Run the helper

From repository root:

python "skills/codecov-management/scripts/manage_codecov.py" summary --repo "." --json

Public repository read attempt without a token:

python "skills/codecov-management/scripts/manage_codecov.py" repo --repo "." --allow-unauthenticated --json

Validate local Codecov configuration:

python "skills/codecov-management/scripts/manage_codecov.py" validate-config --repo "." --json
