What it does

GitHub Lanes Bridge is an agent skill from lanes-sh/app. Use when bridging GitHub and Lanes — importing GitHub issues into Lanes for local Claude Code execution, batch-spawning sessions per ticket, decomposing one GitHub issue into multiple Lanes sub-issues with dependencies, or posting session results (PR links, comments, follow-up issues) back to GitHub. Triggers on phrases like "import from GitHub", "bring this GitHub issue into Lanes", "comment back on the PR/issue", "spin off a GitHub issue from this Lanes ticket", or any mention of both GitHub and Lanes in the…

Its SKILL.md is about 2.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with GitHub and Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Run many CLI (Coding) Agents in parallel lanes: issues, worktrees, sessions, and loops on one board. The agentic development environment.

When your agent uses it

  • Bridging GitHub and Lanes — importing GitHub issues into Lanes for local Claude Code execution
  • Batch-spawning sessions per ticket
  • Decomposing one GitHub issue into multiple Lanes sub-issues with dependencies
  • Posting session results (PR links

Example prompts

  • “import from GitHub”
  • “bring this GitHub issue into Lanes”
  • “comment back on the PR/issue”
  • “/github-lanes-bridge”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 08a67bc. 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

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • 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

GitHub Lanes Bridge loads about 2.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 172 tokens; SKILL.md has 886 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~172
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.5k

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.
