What it does

GitHub Issues is an agent skill from AlexAI-MCP/hermes-CCC. GitHub issue management — create, update, label, milestone, and link issues to PRs via gh CLI or curl fallback.

It sits in Product & Project Management, covering Project management. It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Hermes Agent ported to Claude Code Channel — 46 native skills, no OAuth, no external process. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

Tasks that involve Project management

Example prompts

“/github-issues”

Requirements

A credential in GITHUB_TOKEN

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8107e89. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- gh
- curl
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:
- api.github.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
- GITHUB_TOKEN
- GH_TOKEN
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

GitHub Issues loads about 978 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 31 tokens; SKILL.md has 86 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~31
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~978

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.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

The full file from AlexAI-MCP/hermes-CCC at commit 8107e89, republished under its MIT licence (© AlexAI-MCP). 86 words, ~978 tokens.
