What it does

GitHub is an agent skill from Porabuild/Poracode. Inspect repositories, review pull requests, triage issues, and follow CI through the GitHub MCP server.

Its SKILL.md is about 610 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 and Issue triage. It works with GitHub and Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: One window for all your AI coding agents. Run Claude, Codex, OpenCode, Gemini, Antigravity, Cursor, and Copilot side-by-side. Terminal and chat, any layout. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Pull requests
  • Tasks that involve Issue triage

Example prompts

  • “/github”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit bffd89d. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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 loads about 607 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 28 tokens; SKILL.md has 360 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~28
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~607

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

Work with GitHub through the connected github MCP server. Prefer its tools over shelling out to gh or git — they return structured data and work without a local checkout.

Use this core skill to orient the repository and route the request. Use review-follow-up for review threads, ci-debug for failing Actions checks, and publish-changes for commit/push/PR work. Do not blend a read-only inspection request into a publishing workflow.

Before you start

Confirm the server is connected. If its tools are unavailable, say so and stop rather than silently falling back to guesswork; the user connects it from Settings → Plugins → GitHub.

Establish the target repository once, from the user's words or the current project's origin remote, and reuse it. Do not guess an owner or repo name.

Reading

  • Read the pull request or issue body and its comments before forming an opinion. Review threads carry the decisions; the description is often stale.
  • For a PR, read the diff before the discussion. Someone's summary of a change is not the change.
  • Quote file and line when you reference code, so the user can jump to it.
  • Resolve repository, pull request, issue, check, and ref identifiers once and reuse the exact identifiers. If more than one target plausibly matches, ask rather than acting on the first search result.

Writing

Anything that other people will see — a comment, a review, a label change, a merge — is outward-facing. Confirm the exact text and target with the user before posting, unless they have already told you to go ahead. Approval to post one comment is not approval to post the next one.

Never merge, close, or force-push on the user's behalf without them asking for that specific action.

Reporting

Give the answer, not a transcript of your API calls. When you list PRs or issues, include number, title, author, and current state, and lead with whatever the user actually asked about.

For any mutation, read back the resulting GitHub state and link the exact repository object. A successful tool call without the expected state is not verification.

review-follow-up for working through review feedback, ci-debug for failing checks, publish-changes for committing and opening a PR.

Can I use GitHub in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add Porabuild/Poracode --skill github -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/github, .gemini/skills/github, .github/skills/github and .opencode/skills/github in your project.

What does GitHub need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: GitHub is instructions for the agent only.

Does GitHub access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is GitHub safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does GitHub use?

GitHub is published under the Apache-2.0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does GitHub use?

About 607 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.4k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to GitHub?
