What it does

Cuga GitHub Issues is an agent skill from cuga-project/cuga-agent. Create GitHub issues for cuga-agent (bugs, features, epics, designs, and related work) against origin using gh, with epic → feature → issue hierarchy and GraphQL sub-issue linking. Use when the user says create new issues, report a bug, file a bug, feature request, new feature, create an epic, GitHub issue, sub-issue, or parent epic.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `github_commands.md` and `templates.md`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering User stories, GraphQL and Literature review. It works with GitHub, GraphQL and Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: CUGA is an open-source generalist agent harness for the enterprise, supporting complex task execution on web and APIs, OpenAPI/MCP integrations, composable architecture…

When your agent uses it

  • The user says create new issues
  • Feature request

Example prompts

  • “/cuga-github-issues”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Use upstream origin (not a fork-only default). Pass --repo owner/name when needed.
  2. Run gh label list for that repo. Only use label names that exist. Never invent labels.
  3. No promotional footers (“Made with Cursor”, etc.).
  4. Hierarchy depth is only: Epic → Feature → Issue. Never nest under a leaf issue. Never Feature → Feature. Never deeper than three levels.
  5. When parented: put Part of #. at the top of the body, create the issue, then link with GraphQL addSubIssue. Body text alone is not enough…
  6. Do not use unsupported gh issue edit --set-parent.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c289e8b. 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

Cuga GitHub Issues loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 89 tokens; SKILL.md has 616 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~89
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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 616 words (~1,228 tokens).

“File issues against origin upstream with gh. Read companions as needed:”
