What it does

GitHub Issue is an agent skill from rhesis-ai/rhesis. File a GitHub issue in this repo using the right template and labels. Use when the user asks to create, open, or file an issue.

Its SKILL.md is about 130 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: The collaboration layer for AI teams: domain experts annotate and review agent behavior, engineers improve the agent from what they find.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to create

Example prompts

  • “/github-issue”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Use GitHub CLI (gh issue create) with the appropriate template (Bug, Feature, Task) from
  2. List labels with gh label list and pick from that list — don't add issue-type labels
  3. Keep issues short; trim template sections that don't apply.
  4. Ask the user for confirmation before creating.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit bb3d0df. 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 Issue loads about 134 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 35 tokens; SKILL.md has 53 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~35
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~134

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 53 words (~134 tokens).
