What it does
Gh Local is an agent skill from ankitvgupta/exo. Run GitHub Actions CI workflows locally using nektos/act in Docker. Use when testing CI before pushing or debugging workflow failures.
Its SKILL.md is about 580 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering CI/CD and Containers. It works with GitHub Actions, Docker and Linux. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code for your Inbox.
When your agent uses it
- Testing CI before pushing
- Debugging workflow failures
Example prompts
- “/gh-local”
Requirements
- Node.js
- Docker
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Verify prerequisites
- Run the workflow
- Monitor progress
- Report results
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 04da760. 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:
brewdockernpx
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
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
Gh Local loads about 581 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 36 tokens; SKILL.md has 269 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 269 words (~581 tokens).
