What it does
This skill retargets a known list of issue numbers to a release milestone, to owners, or both, using only the gh CLI. The change itself is the signal, so the agent posts no comments. It does not close, label, comment on, merge or release anything; those stay with the maintainer.
First the agent reads the real milestone titles and the starting open count, because a mistyped title silently does nothing, and it stops and asks if the milestone is missing or closed. It then screens every number, skipping pull requests and issues that are not open. Edits run one issue at a time with a result reported for each, and repeating them is harmless.
Afterward the agent reruns the milestone listing to confirm the open count rose by the number of issues moved, and spot-checks a few to confirm the milestone title. The commands in the skill are written for the Codewhale repository.
When your agent uses it
- Moving a triaged list of issues into the current release milestone
- Re-pointing issues after a milestone was renamed or recreated
- Assigning a batch of issues to owners without posting comments
- Making the issue queue reflect a finished round of inbox grouping
Example prompts
- “Move the issues from this triage list into the current release milestone and verify each one.”
- “Add the milestone to every issue in triage-list.txt and report any that fail.”
- “Re-point the issues from the renamed milestone to the new one and confirm the open count changed.”
Requirements
- GitHub CLI (gh), signed in and able to edit the repository's issues

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8d2fb45. 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
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use gh, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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
GitHub Issue Bulk Assigner loads about 953 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 25 tokens; SKILL.md has 447 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.

gh-assign-issues
Retarget or assign a set of Codewhale issues to a milestone and/or owners in
bulk, verifying every one. The milestone (or assignee) change is the signal;
do not narrate it with comments. Use gh for all GitHub
calls.
When to use
- You have a concrete list of issue numbers (e.g. from triage) to move into a
release milestone such as the current
vX.Y.Z, or to assign to owners. - A milestone was renamed/created and its issues need re-pointing.
- You finished grouping the inbox and want the queue to reflect it without posting public chatter.
This skill changes milestone/assignee only. It does not close, label, comment, merge, or release. Those stay with the maintainer.
Workflow
Confirm the exact milestone title.
gh issue edit --milestonematches by name, so a typo silently fails (or worse, no-ops). Read the real titles and note the starting open-count:bash gh api repos/codewhale-hq/CodeWhale/milestones \ --jq '.[] | "\(.number)\t\(.title)\topen=\(.open_issues)\tstate=\(.state)"'Copy the title string verbatim (e.g. the live
vX.Y.Ztitle). If the target milestone is missing or closed, stop and ask the maintainer; do not create one.Pre-flight each number.
gh issue editwill happily retarget a PR or a closed issue, so screen first. Theurlreveals PR-vs-issue (/pull/vs/issues/); skip anything not OPEN or that is a PR:bash for N in <N1> <N2> <N3>; do # substitute the real issue numbers gh issue view "$N" --repo codewhale-hq/CodeWhale \ --json number,state,url,milestone \ --jq '"\(.number)\t\(.state)\t\(.url)\tmilestone=\(.milestone.title // "none")"' doneFlag any row whose
urlcontains/pull/(it is a PR) or whose state is notOPEN, and exclude it from the loop below.Apply the change, one issue at a time, reporting per-issue success. Use
--milestone,--add-assignee, or both:bash for N in <N1> <N2> <N3>; do # substitute the real issue numbers if gh issue edit "$N" --repo codewhale-hq/CodeWhale \ --milestone "<milestone>" >/dev/null 2>&1; then echo "ok #$N -> <milestone>" else echo "FAIL #$N (PR? closed? bad milestone title?)" fi done # owners: add --add-assignee handle (do not invent logins)Edit is idempotent: re-pointing an already-correct issue is harmless.
Verify the milestone moved. Re-run the step-1 command and confirm the open count rose by the number of issues you moved in (minus any you skipped). Spot-check a few with the step-2 view to confirm
milestone.titleis now the target.Report a tight ledger: issues moved, issues skipped and why (PR / closed / title mismatch), the before/after open-count, and any owner assignments. No public comment is posted.

Red flags / don't
- Don't edit from a list of titles alone. Resolve to OPEN issue numbers and
confirm each is an issue, not a PR (
/pull/in the url), before editing. - Don't guess the milestone title or assignee login. A near-miss name no-ops or fails silently; an invalid login errors mid-loop.
- Don't post "moved to
<milestone>" comments. The milestone change is the signal; extra chatter is noise to good-faith contributors. - Don't close, merge, label, tag, or release as part of this. Those need explicit maintainer approval (see AGENTS.md).
- Don't skip step 4. An unmoved open-count means the title was wrong or every edit silently failed.
- Preserve contributor credit: this skill never alters authorship, harvest
markers (
Co-authored-by/Harvested from PR #N), or closing references.
