When your agent uses it

User wants to share code/notes publicly
Create quick shareable snippets
Publish markdown to GitHub
Include publish as gist

Example prompts

“publish as gist”
“create gist”
“share on github”
“/github-gist”

Requirements

Python 3
A credential in GITHUB_GIST_TOKEN

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7524dff. 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
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- python3
- gh
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:
- gist.github.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
- GITHUB_GIST_TOKEN
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

GitHub Gist loads about 451 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 73 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~67
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~451

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
