At a glance
Reads, triages, and mutates GitHub issues, pull requests, reviews, and CI runs through the authenticated gh CLI.
- Works in 4 steps: Confirm the repo (owner/name) and, for… → Read: gh issue view, gh pr view, gh pr… → Mutate only when asked: gh issue create,… → …
- Triaging or reading issues and pull requests on a repo
- SKILL.md covers When to use, Setup, Workflow and Non-goals
- Calls gh
What it does
Reading always goes through gh issue view, gh pr view, gh pr diff, gh search, and gh run view rather than being summarized from memory, and a mutation such as creating an issue or PR, reviewing, or merging only happens on explicit request, never inferred from context. A missing or unauthenticated gh install fails loudly rather than silently falling back to a raw curl call against the GitHub API, since gh is what owns auth, pagination, and output shape here.
When your agent uses it
- Triaging or reading issues and pull requests on a repo
- Checking CI run status or a PR's diff before merging
- Opening an issue or PR only when explicitly asked to
Example prompts
- “Show me the diff and CI status for PR #412.”
- “Triage the open issues labelled bug in this repo.”
- “Open a PR for this branch with a summary of the changes.”
Requirements
- GitHub CLI (`gh`), authenticated
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Confirm the repo (owner/name) and, for mutations, the exact target.
- Read: gh issue view, gh pr view, gh pr diff, gh search, gh run view.
- Mutate only when asked: gh issue create, gh pr create, gh pr review,
- Quote what gh returned; never summarize a diff or check rollup you did not read.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ad333fd. 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 via gh CLI loads about 297 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 42 tokens; SKILL.md has 148 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.

- description
- GitHub via gh — issues, PRs, reviews, search, and CI runs. Use when: user mentions a repo, issue, PR, review, release, workflow run, or anything on github.com.
- invocation
- model+user
GitHub
When to use
Any GitHub work: read or triage issues, open or review PRs, search code, check CI runs, manage releases.
Setup
Requires the gh CLI, authenticated. Fail loud when it is missing:
gh auth status || gh auth loginNever proceed with curl against api.github.com as a silent fallback —
gh owns auth, pagination, and output shape.
Workflow
- Confirm the repo (
owner/name) and, for mutations, the exact target. - Read:
gh issue view,gh pr view,gh pr diff,gh search,gh run view. - Mutate only when asked:
gh issue create,gh pr create,gh pr review,gh pr merge. Mutations need explicit user intent, not inference. - Quote what
ghreturned; never summarize a diff or check rollup you did not read.
Non-goals
- Do not merge, close, or approve on your own initiative.
- Do not invent issue/PR numbers or check conclusions.
- Do not push, retag, or rewrite history without explicit authorization.
