What it does
GitHub is an agent skill from refly-ai/refly-skills. Integrate with GitHub for repository management and collaboration. Use when you need to: (1) manage repositories, issues, and pull requests, (2) search code and repositories, (3) manage collaborators and teams, or (4) automate GitHub workflows.
Its SKILL.md is about 250 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `README.md`).
It sits in Development, covering Pull requests. It works with GitHub and GitHub Actions. The repository describes itself as: Refly skills repository.
When your agent uses it
- Manage repositories
- Search code and repositories
- Manage collaborators and teams
- Automate GitHub workflows
Example prompts
- “/github”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5a546d2. 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 (its code samples are bash).
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 254 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 58 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 58 words (~254 tokens).
“Integrate with GitHub for repository management and collaboration. Use when you need to: (1) manage repositories, issues, and pull requests, (2) search code and repositories, (3) manage collaborators and teams, or (4) automate GitHub workflows.”

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

With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add refly-ai/refly-skills --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?
No licence was found for GitHub or its repository. Without one, default copyright applies: ask the author before reusing or redistributing it.
How many tokens does GitHub use?
About 254 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 1k 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?
