What it does

Scan Repo is an agent skill from gittower/git-flow-next. Weekly repo activity scan — new discussions, issues, and PRs, ordered by effort into an action list

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k 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. The repository describes itself as: A modern reimplementation of git-flow in Go that offers greater flexibility while maintaining backward compatibility with the original git-flow and git-flow-avh.

When your agent uses it

  • Development work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/scan-repo”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read, Write, Glob, mcp__github__list_issues, mcp__github__search_issues, mcp__github__list_pull_requests, mcp__github__get_pull_request_reviews

Workflow steps

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

  1. Determine the Window
  2. Gather Activity
  3. Classify by Effort
  4. Write the Report
  5. Report to User

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 00d1b4b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash
    • Read
    • Write
    • Glob
    • mcp__github__list_issues
    • mcp__github__search_issues
    • mcp__github__list_pull_requests
    • mcp__github__get_pull_request_reviews

    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

Scan Repo loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 27 tokens; SKILL.md has 494 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~27
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

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 494 words (~1,336 tokens).

“Scan all activity on gittower/git-flow-next since the last scan and produce a prioritized action list: what came in (discussions, issues, PRs), what needs a reaction from us, and in which order to tackle it — quick wins first, deeper work…”
