What it does
Accessing GitHub is an agent skill from fletchgqc/agentbox. Performs git operations and interacts with GitHub. Used when git-related operations are needed, including: git commands (commit, push, pull, branch, merge, etc.), GitHub API interactions, gh CLI operations, pull request operations, issue analysis and operations.
Its SKILL.md is about 310 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 Development, covering Pull requests and Git workflow. It works with GitHub and Git. The repository describes itself as: A docker image for running AI agents in YOLO mode. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Pull requests
- Tasks that involve Git workflow
Example prompts
- “Use the accessing-github skill to perform git operations and interacts with GitHub. An agent skill from fletchgqc/agentbox”
- “/accessing-github”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d16e03a. 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
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
GH_TOKEN
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Accessing GitHub loads about 308 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 70 tokens; SKILL.md has 145 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.
SKILL.md
The full file from fletchgqc/agentbox at commit d16e03a, republished under its Apache-2.0 licence (© fletchgqc). 145 words, ~308 tokens.

- accessing-github
- description
- Performs git operations and interacts with GitHub. Used when git-related operations are needed, including: git commands (commit, push, pull, branch, merge, etc.), GitHub API interactions, gh CLI operations, pull request operations, issue analysis and operations.
GitHub Integration
- Always use gh CLI for GitHub operations when possible. Authentication is automatically taken care of by the GH_TOKEN environment variable.
- Fall back to GitHub API when gh CLI isn't suitable
When committing code
- Create a git commit message which summarises the changes being committed. Include what was changed and why the changes were made, using the conversation history to determine the why if possible.
Challenge your "why"
- After drafting a "why" part, challenge yourself: would a reader be able to easily determine this themselves from the "what"? If so, don't include the "why", since it is superfluous.
Improvements
- If you solve any problems with github integration, for example with
ghauthentication not working out of the box, summarise for the user what problem you solved and how after you finish the task. This information will be used to improve the skill in future.
