At a glance

File a GitHub issue for Open Data Capture with its labels. An agent skill from DouglasNeuroInformatics/OpenDataCapture.

  • Create an issue
  • SKILL.md covers Labels and Create
  • Calls gh
  • Labelling an existing one

What it does

Opening Issues is an agent skill from DouglasNeuroInformatics/OpenDataCapture. File a GitHub issue for Open Data Capture with its labels. Use when asked to open, file or create an issue, when labelling an existing one, or when another skill needs to file one.

Its SKILL.md is about 610 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: An electronic data capture platform for administering remote and in-person clinical instruments. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Create an issue
  • Labelling an existing one
  • Another skill needs to file one

Example prompts

  • “/opening-issues”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 432dec8. 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

Opening Issues loads about 614 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 49 tokens; SKILL.md has 168 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~49
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~614

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
File a GitHub issue for Open Data Capture with its labels. Use when asked to open, file or create an issue, when labelling an existing one, or when another skill needs to file one.

Issues live on DouglasNeuroInformatics/OpenDataCapture, not the origin fork. The title is plain prose; the Type label says what kind of issue it is, so a [Feature]:-style prefix is redundant.

Labels

gh label list --repo DouglasNeuroInformatics/OpenDataCapture prints what each label means. Apply only labels that already exist.
