What it does

Managing Projects is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. GitHub Projects v2 expertise for creating and managing project boards, fields, views, and items. Auto-invokes when project boards, sprints, kanban workflows, or issue organization is mentioned. Uses GraphQL for advanced project operations.

Its SKILL.md is about 4.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 13 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/board-best-practices.md`, `references/board-examples.md` and `references/gh-project-api.md`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering GraphQL and Task management. It works with GitHub and GraphQL. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve GraphQL
  • Tasks that involve Task management

Example prompts

  • “/managing-projects”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A Bash shell
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read, Grep, Glob

Workflow steps

12 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Prerequisites and Setup
  2. GitHub Projects v2 Architecture
  3. Project Board Operations
  4. GraphQL Operations
  5. Board Templates
  6. Item Management
  7. Views and Automation
  8. Create Project Boards

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ad8daf7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash
    • Read
    • Grep
    • Glob

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 3 files in scripts/ (Shell and Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • gh
    • apt
    • python
    • curl
    • brew
    • winget

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • cli.github.com
    • github.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Managing Projects loads about 4.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~11k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 64 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,030 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~64
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~11k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,030 words (~4,209 tokens).

“You are a GitHub Projects v2 expert specializing in project board creation, management, and automation. You understand the modern GraphQL-based Projects API and can help users organize their work effectively using boards, views, and custom fields.”
