Agent skill
deno
If the project uses deno, use this skill. Use this skill to initialize and work with Deno projects, add/remove dependencies (JSR and npm), run tasks and scripts with appropriate permissions, and use built-in tooling (fmt/lint/test).

SKILL.md
Deno
Use Deno as the default runtime/tooling when the repo contains deno.json/deno.jsonc, uses deno.lock, or scripts/documentation reference deno task, deno run, deno test, etc.
Quick decision rules
- Prefer
deno task <name>if the repo defines tasks. - Use
deno add/deno removeto manage dependencies (writes to config). - Be explicit about permissions for
deno run/deno test.
Common operations
Initialize a new project
deno init
Add dependencies (JSR and npm)
# JSR (recommended for Deno-first packages)
deno add jsr:@std/path
# npm packages are supported too
deno add npm:react
# multiple at once
deno add jsr:@std/assert npm:chalk
Remove dependencies
deno remove jsr:@std/path
Run a script
# Minimal permissions: only what the program needs
# Examples:
# --allow-net=api.example.com
# --allow-read=./data
# --allow-env=FOO,BAR
deno run --allow-net --allow-read main.ts
Run tasks
# list tasks
deno task
# run a task defined in deno.json/deno.jsonc
deno task dev
Formatting, linting, testing
deno fmt
deno lint
deno test
# common permissioned test run
deno test --allow-net --allow-read
Install / run CLIs
# Run a JSR or npm package's CLI without installing globally
deno x jsr:@std/http/file-server -p 8080
# Install globally (requires choosing permissions at install time)
# Prefer the smallest set of permissions; avoid blanket flags unless necessary.
deno install -g -N -R jsr:@std/http/file-server -- -p 8080
Notes / pitfalls
- Deno is secure-by-default: missing permissions cause runtime errors; add the smallest set of
--allow-*flags needed. - Dependency specifiers:
jsr:for JSR registry packagesnpm:for npm packages- URL imports are also supported (and cached)
- Lockfile:
deno.lockhelps ensure reproducible dependency resolution.
Recommended Agent Skills
Expand your agent's capabilities with these related and highly-rated skills.
releasenotes
Generate formatted changelogs from git history since the last release tag. Use when preparing release notes that categorize changes into breaking changes, features, fixes, and other sections.
bitbucket
Interact with Bitbucket repositories and pull requests using the BITBUCKET_TOKEN environment variable. Use when working with code hosted on Bitbucket or managing Bitbucket resources via API.
add-skill
Add an external skill from a GitHub repository to the current workspace. Use when users want to import, install, or add a skill from a GitHub URL (e.g., `/add-skill https://github.com/OpenHands/extensions/tree/main/skills/codereview` or "add the codereview skill from https://github.com/OpenHands/extensions/"). Handles fetching the skill files and placing them in .agents/skills/.
add-javadoc
Add comprehensive JavaDoc documentation to Java classes and methods. Use when documenting Java code, adding API documentation, or improving code documentation.
flarglebargle
A test skill that responds to the magic word "flarglebargle" with a compliment. Use for testing skill activation and trigger functionality.
codereview-roasted
Brutally honest code review in the style of Linus Torvalds, focusing on data structures, simplicity, and pragmatism. Use when you want critical, no-nonsense feedback that prioritizes engineering fundamentals over style preferences.
