What it does

GitHub Issues is an agent skill from EpicenterHQ/epicenter. GitHub issue comment guidelines for community interaction. Use when: "respond to this issue", "reply to this bug report", "close this issue", or any GitHub discussion.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Testing & QA, covering QA and bug reports. It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Open-source, local-first apps.

When your agent uses it

  • : respond to this issue
  • Reply to this bug report
  • Close this issue
  • Any GitHub discussion

Example prompts

  • “respond to this issue”
  • “reply to this bug report”
  • “close this issue”
  • “/github-issues”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Acknowledgment
  2. Good News Delivery
  3. Debugging Offers
  4. Discord Promotion
  5. Follow-up Questions
  6. Closing

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9cc65c3. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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:

    • cal.com
    • go.epicenter.so

    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 Issues loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 45 tokens; SKILL.md has 642 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~45
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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 642 words (~1,470 tokens).
