github-scriptWrite robust JavaScript for GitHub Actions github-script steps.
GitHub Script is an agent skill from github/gh-aw, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Write robust JavaScript for GitHub Actions github-script steps.
Its SKILL.md is about 450 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 DevOps & Cloud, covering CI/CD. It works with GitHub, JavaScript and GitHub Actions. The repository describes itself as: GitHub Agentic Workflows. The licence is MIT.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit eb63040. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
makeFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
github.comFrom URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
GitHub Script loads about 450 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 19 tokens; SKILL.md has 189 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.
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.

Write robust JavaScript for GitHub Actions github-script steps. GitHub Script is an agent skill from github/gh-aw, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Write robust JavaScript for GitHub Actions github-script steps.
GitHub Script fits situations like: tasks that involve CI/CD.
Run `npx skills add github/gh-aw --skill github-script -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.github/skills/github-script in github/gh-aw) into .claude/skills/github-script in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add github/gh-aw --skill github-script -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.github/skills/github-script in github/gh-aw) into .agents/skills/github-script in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add github/gh-aw --skill github-script -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/github-script, .gemini/skills/github-script, .github/skills/github-script and .opencode/skills/github-script in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, GitHub Script needs the command-line tools its instructions call (make).
SKILL.md names 1 domain. As links in the text: github.com. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
GitHub Script is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 450 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 1.8k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with GitHub Script: Linea Dependency Maintenance (Consensys-Incorporated/linea-attestation-registry, 177 stars), Nushell (ccusage/ccusage, 19k stars), AI News Radar (LearnPrompt/ai-news-radar, 1.8k stars) and Make GitHub Actions Workflow (dotnet/efcore, 15k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
github (a GitHub organization, an official publisher) maintains it in github/gh-aw, which has 5,350 GitHub stars. The repository holds 52 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on October 7, 2026.
