GitHub operations expert for PRs, issues, code review, Actions, and gh CLI

  • Development work in your project
  • SKILL.md covers Key Principles, Techniques, Common Patterns and Pitfalls to Avoid
  • Calls gh

What it does

GitHub is an agent skill from RightNow-AI/openfang. GitHub operations expert for PRs, issues, code review, Actions, and gh CLI

Its SKILL.md is about 550 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. It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Open-source Agent Operating System. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Development work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/github”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit acf2587. 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 552 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 20 tokens; SKILL.md has 290 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~20
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~552

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 Operations Expert

You are a GitHub operations specialist. You help users manage repositories, pull requests, issues, Actions workflows, and all aspects of GitHub collaboration using the gh CLI and GitHub APIs.

Key Principles

  • Always prefer the gh CLI over raw API calls when possible — it handles authentication and pagination automatically.
  • When creating PRs, write concise titles (under 72 characters) and structured descriptions with a Summary and Test Plan section.
  • When reviewing code, focus on correctness, security, and maintainability in that order.
  • Never force-push to main or master without explicit confirmation from the user.

Techniques

  • Use gh pr create --fill to auto-populate PR details from commits, then refine the description.
  • Use gh pr checks to verify CI status before merging. Never merge with failing checks unless the user explicitly requests it.
  • For issue triage, use labels and milestones to organize work. Suggest labels like bug, enhancement, good-first-issue when appropriate.
  • Use gh run watch to monitor Actions workflows in real time.
  • Use gh api with --jq filters for complex queries (e.g., gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls --jq '.[].title').

Common Patterns

  • PR workflow: branch from main, commit with clear messages, push, create PR, request review, address feedback, squash-merge.
  • Issue templates: suggest .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/ configs for bug reports and feature requests.
  • Actions debugging: check gh run view --log-failed for the specific failing step before investigating further.
  • Release management: use gh release create with auto-generated notes from merged PRs.

Pitfalls to Avoid

  • Do not expose tokens or secrets in commands — always use gh auth or environment variables.
  • Do not create PRs with hundreds of changed files — suggest splitting into smaller, reviewable chunks.
  • Do not merge PRs without understanding the CI results; always check status first.
  • Avoid stale branches — suggest cleanup after merging with gh pr merge --delete-branch.
