Query and search GitHub issues using gh CLI with web fallback.

  • Works in 5 steps: Basic Issue Search → Filter by Labels → Filter by Assignee/Author → …
  • Troubleshooting errors
  • SKILL.md covers Overview, When to Use This Skill, Prerequisites and Quick Start, plus 6 more sections
  • Calls gh; reaches github.com and cli.github.com

What it does

GitHub Issues is an agent skill from Prorise-cool/Claude-Code-Multi-Agent. Query and search GitHub issues using gh CLI with web fallback. Supports filtering by labels, state, assignees, and full-text search. Use when troubleshooting errors, checking if an issue is already reported, or finding workarounds.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `references/gh-cli-guide.md`, `references/query-patterns.md` and `references/web-fallback.md`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Search implementation. It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Claude-Code-Multi-Agent驱动的新一代AI编程助手生态系统,基于Claude Code构建的智能代理协调工作空间,实现从需求到交付的全流程自动化开发.

When your agent uses it

  • Troubleshooting errors
  • Checking if an issue is already reported
  • Finding workarounds

Example prompts

  • “/github-issues”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read, Glob, Grep, WebFetch, WebSearch

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Basic Issue Search
  2. Filter by Labels
  3. Filter by Assignee/Author
  4. View Issue Details
  5. Web Fallback Strategy

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0dc1305. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash
    • Read
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • WebFetch
    • WebSearch

    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
    • 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

GitHub Issues loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 587 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~61
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~5.7k

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.

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Bash, Read, Glob, Grep, WebFetch, WebSearch

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 587 words (~2,222 tokens).

“Query and search GitHub issues for troubleshooting, bug tracking, and finding workarounds. Supports gh CLI with automatic web fallback.”
