# PolicyEngine GitHub Agent Skill ## For Users 👥 The PolicyEngine GitHub agent is an automated bot that can be invoked on GitHub issues and pull requests using `@policyengine` mentions. It helps with code reviews, bug fixes, and implementing features across PolicyEngine repositories. ## For Contributors 💻 ### Critical: Avoiding Doom Loops **NEVER use '@policyengine' or '@policyengine-auto' in bot responses.** These mentions trigger the bot and create infinite loops where the bot repeatedly responds to itself. #### Why This Matters When the bot posts a comment containing `@policyengine`, GitHub notifies the bot account, which triggers another invocation. This creates a chain reaction of bot responses that can generate dozens or hundreds of comments before being stopped. See [PR #22](https://github.com/PolicyEngine/policyengine-github-agent/pull/22) for a real example of this issue. #### Safe Alternatives Instead of mentioning the bot directly: ❌ **Don't do this:** - "Thanks @policyengine for the suggestion!" - "I've addressed @policyengine's feedback" - "cc @policyengine-auto" ✅ **Do this instead:** - "I've implemented the suggested changes" - "The feedback has been addressed" - "

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill policyengine-github-agent-skill --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
