At a glance

Fans out one background subagent per open GitHub issue or pull request to write an evidence-backed report, never commenting, closing or merging anything.

  • Works in 6 steps: Setup → Fetch All Open Items (CORRECTED) → Classify → …
  • Getting an evidence-backed report on every open issue in a repository
  • SKILL.md covers Architecture, Zero-Action Policy (ABSOLUTE), Evidence Rule (MANDATORY) and Phase 0: Setup, plus 7 more sections
  • Runs Python scripts from its folder; calls gh, jq and git; reaches github.com

What it does

Fetches every open issue and pull request, classifies them, and spawns exactly one quick background subagent per item running in parallel, tracked with a task-creation call per item, writing each result to its own timestamped report file rather than acting on GitHub directly. Any GitHub-mutating command, such as commenting, closing, editing, merging or a non-GET API call, is an explicitly forbidden, critical violation; only read commands like viewing an issue or PR, GET API calls, and local codebase or git-history reads are allowed.

Every factual claim in a report must carry a GitHub permalink pointing to a specific line range in a specific commit SHA as proof, built by finding the file and line with a search, grabbing the current commit SHA, and constructing the blob URL from both; a permalink to a branch name like main is not acceptable, only a commit SHA. A claim with no permalink is either dropped in favor of stating that no evidence was found, or explicitly marked as unverified and given no weight in the report.

A fixed setup phase resolves the repository name and creates a timestamped report directory before any subagent work begins, and that repository name, directory and commit SHA are passed to every spawned subagent so each one builds consistent permalinks.

When your agent uses it

  • Getting an evidence-backed report on every open issue in a repository
  • Triaging a backlog of pull requests without taking any action on them
  • Finding which open issues already have a fix commit in git history
  • Auditing claims about a bug by checking they carry a real commit permalink

Example prompts

  • “Triage all our open issues and write a report for each one.”
  • “Triage PRs — I just want the analysis, don't comment on anything.”
  • “Which of these open issues already have a fix sitting in git history?”

Requirements

  • The gh CLI
  • Python, to run the bundled fetch script

Workflow steps

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

  1. Setup
  2. Fetch All Open Items (CORRECTED)
  3. Classify
  4. Spawn Subagents (Individual Tool Calls)
  5. Collect & Update
  6. Final Summary

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cbd7dd2. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • gh
    • jq
    • git

    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:

    • 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

Read-Only GitHub Triage loads about 4.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 99 tokens; SKILL.md has 623 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~99
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.3k

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); the scripts in this folder 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 623 words (~4,280 tokens).

“Read-only GitHub triage orchestrator. Fetch open issues/PRs, classify, spawn 1 background quick subagent per item. Each subagent analyzes and writes a report file. ZERO GitHub mutations.”
