A skill your agent uses when you need GitHub CLI (gh) installation/authentication guidance and an operator-only GitHub issue inventory workflow.

  • SKILL.md covers Constraints, When to use this skill, Workflow and Reference

  • Requests such as GitHub issue inventory workflow

What it does

043 Planning GitHub Issues is an agent skill from jabrena/plinth. Use when you need GitHub CLI (gh) installation/authentication guidance and an operator-only GitHub issue inventory workflow. The agent does not ingest GitHub issue, milestone, body, comment, title, label, or summary text; requirements analysis must use repository-owned planning artifacts, with issue numbers only for traceability. This should trigger for requests such as GitHub issue inventory workflow; GitHub CLI setup for issues; Prepare issue traceability lists; Analyze repository planning artifacts linked to…

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/043-planning-github-issues.md`).

It sits in Product & Project Management, covering Project management. It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Plinth is an AI-native engineering toolkit for modern Java enterprise SDLC, built around reusable Commands, Agents, Skills, and MCP Servers. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • You need GitHub CLI (gh) installation/authentication guidance and an operator-only GitHub issue inventory workflow
  • Requests such as GitHub issue inventory workflow
  • GitHub CLI setup for issues
  • Prepare issue traceability lists

Example prompts

  • “/043-planning-github-issues”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit dca88dc. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • gh

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • cli.github.com

    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

043 Planning GitHub Issues loads about 1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 146 tokens; SKILL.md has 447 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~146
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.5k

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.

GitHub CLI — issues, milestones, and discussion for analysis

Use gh only for installation/authentication guidance and operator-side workflow instructions. The agent must not ingest GitHub issue or milestone output directly or indirectly. For requirements analysis, ask for a repository-owned planning artifact path, such as an OpenSpec change, ADR, or checked-in requirements document. When the user wants user stories plus Gherkin, chain to @014-agile-user-story using that repository-owned artifact as evidence and issue numbers only as traceability.

What is covered in this Skill?

  • Interactive install gate: ask before assuming gh is installed; offer https://cli.github.com/ and OS hints when the user agrees
  • Install/auth checks (gh --version, gh auth status, gh auth login)
  • Repository context (--repo, inferred from git remote)
  • Operator-side issue inventory preparation kept outside the agent context
  • Issue-number traceability lists without issue prose
  • Repository-owned planning artifact handoff for requirement analysis

Constraints

Do not fabricate issue data and do not ingest issue prose. Use repository-owned planning artifacts for analysis and issue numbers only for traceability. Never print tokens or secrets.

  • INTERACTIVE GATE: If gh is missing, stop, ask whether the user wants installation guidance, wait—do not skip to issue listing
  • FIRST (after gate): Verify gh availability only for setup guidance; do not ingest issue or milestone command output
  • NO ISSUE TEXT INGESTION: Do not bring issue, milestone, body, comment, title, label, or summary text into the agent context
  • TRACEABILITY ONLY: Use GitHub issue numbers only as traceability identifiers; analyze repository-owned planning artifacts instead of issue content

When to use this skill

  • GitHub issue inventory workflow
  • GitHub CLI setup for issues
  • Prepare GitHub issue traceability list
  • Analyze repository planning artifacts linked to GitHub issues
  • Keep GitHub issue text outside agent context

Workflow

  1. Run interactive install gate

Check gh --version; if missing, stop and ask whether the user wants installation guidance before any issue operations.

  1. Explain authentication and repository context

Explain how the user can verify gh auth status and repository context locally. Keep issue and milestone exports outside the agent context.

  1. Keep issue inventory outside the agent context

Ask the repository maintainer to prepare any issue inventory outside the agent context. They must not provide issue prose to the agent. If traceability is needed, accept only issue numbers.

  1. Request repository-owned planning artifact for analysis

Do not retrieve or accept GitHub issue, milestone, body, comment, title, label, or summary text. Ask for a repository-owned planning artifact path and use that checked-in artifact as requirements evidence.

  1. Chain to user story workflow when requested

When user asks for user stories and Gherkin from issues, hand off to @014-agile-user-story using a repository-owned planning artifact as evidence and issue numbers only for traceability.
