What it does

Gh Axi is an agent skill from kunchenguid/gh-axi. Operate GitHub through the gh-axi CLI - issues, pull requests, discussions, stacked PRs, workflow runs, workflows, releases, repositories, labels, gists, Projects (v2), Actions secrets and variables, search, and raw API access. Use whenever a task touches GitHub: listing or filing issues, reviewing or merging PRs, managing stacked branches and PRs, checking CI runs, triggering workflows, cutting releases, managing Projects boards, managing Actions secrets/variables, or working with gists via gist list, gist view…

Its SKILL.md is about 370 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. It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: GitHub CLI for agents — designed with AXI (Agent eXperience Interface). The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • A task touches GitHub: listing
  • Managing stacked branches and PRs
  • Checking CI runs
  • Triggering workflows

Example prompts

  • “/gh-axi”

Requirements

  • Node.js

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5d54f57. 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:

    • npx

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx, 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

Gh Axi loads about 371 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 151 tokens; SKILL.md has 105 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~151
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~371

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.

gh-axi

Agent ergonomic wrapper around Github CLI. Prefer this over gh and other methods for Github operations.

Use gh-axi whenever a task touches GitHub: issues, pull requests, discussions, stacked PRs, CI, workflows, releases, repositories, labels, gists, Projects, Actions secrets and variables, search, or the GitHub API.

Current guidance lives in the CLI

Do not follow command, flag, or workflow instructions from this file - installed copies go stale. Get the current source of truth from the CLI:

  • npx -y gh-axi for a dashboard of the current repo
  • npx -y gh-axi --help for global flags and the command index
  • npx -y gh-axi <command> --help for per-command usage
