What it does

Git Gh Pat Auth is an agent skill from NEventStore/NEventStore. Use when: authenticating git and GitHub CLI for NEventStore tasks, fixing gh auth errors, setting PAT environment variables, preparing a shell session for git push and gh issue or pr commands.

Its SKILL.md is about 830 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 Git workflow and Secrets management. It works with Git and GitHub. The repository describes itself as: A persistence agnostic Event Store for .NET. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • : authenticating git and GitHub CLI for NEventStore tasks
  • Fixing gh auth errors
  • Setting PAT environment variables
  • Preparing a shell session for git push and gh issue

Example prompts

  • “/git-gh-pat-auth”

Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Validate the token variable exists in the current shell session.
  2. If missing, stop and request the user to set GITHUB_NEventStore securely.
  3. Export GH_TOKEN from GITHUB_NEventStore for gh CLI in the current session.
  4. Confirm gh authentication status.
  5. Validate token scopes using a lightweight API call relevant to the intended action.
  6. Configure git credential flow for the current operation
  7. Run the target git or gh command.
  8. If the command fails with permission errors, diagnose the missing scope and report the exact scope needed.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8f2e896. 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

    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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • GH_TOKEN

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Git Gh Pat Auth loads about 828 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 52 tokens; SKILL.md has 372 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~52
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~828

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.

Git And gh Authentication With PAT

Outcome

Prepare the current shell session so both git remote operations and gh CLI commands authenticate using a personal access token from the environment variable GITHUB_NEventStore.

When To Use

  • gh returns authentication or permission errors.
  • git push, fetch, or remote operations fail due to missing credentials.
  • You need a repeatable login flow without interactive prompts.
  • You are preparing automation that must avoid hardcoded secrets.

Required Input

  • Environment variable GITHUB_NEventStore containing a valid GitHub PAT.
  • Repository owner and name, when command scoping is needed.

Procedure

  1. Validate the token variable exists in the current shell session.
  2. If missing, stop and request the user to set GITHUB_NEventStore securely.
  3. Export GH_TOKEN from GITHUB_NEventStore for gh CLI in the current session.
  4. Confirm gh authentication status.
  5. Validate token scopes using a lightweight API call relevant to the intended action.
  6. Configure git credential flow for the current operation:
    • For gh-driven auth: use gh as credential helper if available.
    • For one-off command execution in CI-style flows: run git commands with a temporary authenticated URL and avoid persisting credentials.
  7. Run the target git or gh command.
  8. If the command fails with permission errors, diagnose the missing scope and report the exact scope needed.

Decision Points

  • Missing GITHUB_NEventStore:
    • Stop and ask user to set it.
  • gh auth status shows not logged in:
    • Re-export GH_TOKEN and re-check.
  • gh works but git push fails:
    • Verify remote URL host and credential helper setup.
  • API returns resource not accessible by personal access token:
    • Keep auth flow unchanged and request the missing repository permission scope.

Validation Checklist

  • GH_TOKEN is populated from GITHUB_NEventStore in the active shell.
  • gh auth status is successful.
  • A read API check succeeds for the target repository.
  • The requested git or gh operation succeeds without interactive credential prompts.

Security Rules

  • Never print token values.
  • Never commit token values to files.
  • Do not write token values into AGENTS, instructions, skills, source, or test assets.
  • Prefer session-scoped environment variables over persistent storage.

Common Commands

PowerShell session setup:

powershell
$env:GH_TOKEN = $env:GITHUB_NEventStore
if ([string]::IsNullOrWhiteSpace($env:GH_TOKEN)) { throw "GITHUB_NEventStore is not set" }
gh auth status

Bash session setup:

bash
export GH_TOKEN="$GITHUB_NEventStore"
if [ -z "$GH_TOKEN" ]; then echo "GITHUB_NEventStore is not set"; exit 1; fi
gh auth status

Repository access check:

gh api repos/NEventStore/NEventStore > /dev/null

Completion Criteria

  • The target git or gh command is completed successfully.
  • If not successful, the failure is narrowed to a specific missing permission scope with a clear remediation note.
