About this skill

GitHub is a skill in QuantClaw/QuantClaw (214 stars). Its SKILL.md is about 168 tokens. Licence: Apache-2.0.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7760ef3. 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 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 168 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 10 tokens; SKILL.md has 72 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~10
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~168

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.

Questions about GitHub

How do I install GitHub in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add QuantClaw/QuantClaw --skill github -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (assets/skills/github in QuantClaw/QuantClaw) into .claude/skills/github in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install GitHub in Codex?

Run `npx skills add QuantClaw/QuantClaw --skill github -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (assets/skills/github in QuantClaw/QuantClaw) into .agents/skills/github in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

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 QuantClaw/QuantClaw --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?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, GitHub needs the command-line tools its instructions call (gh).

Does GitHub access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use gh, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. 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 168 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 672 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?
