At a glance

Interact with GitHub using the gh CLI. An agent skill from huangruiteng/CS-Notes.

  • Development work in your project
  • SKILL.md covers Pull Requests, API for Advanced Queries and JSON Output
  • Calls gh

What it does

GitHub is an agent skill from huangruiteng/CS-Notes. Interact with GitHub using the gh CLI. Use gh issue, gh pr, gh run, and gh api for issues, PRs, CI runs, and advanced queries.

Its SKILL.md is about 280 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files (for example `.clawhub/origin.json` and `_meta.json`).

It sits in Development. It works with GitHub. The licence is MIT.

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 d01d8f8. 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 279 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 36 tokens; SKILL.md has 88 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~36
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~279

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

The full file from huangruiteng/CS-Notes at commit d01d8f8, republished under its MIT licence (© huangruiteng). 88 words, ~279 tokens.

name
github
description
Interact with GitHub using the `gh` CLI. Use `gh issue`, `gh pr`, `gh run`, and `gh api` for issues, PRs, CI runs, and advanced queries.

GitHub Skill

Use the gh CLI to interact with GitHub. Always specify --repo owner/repo when not in a git directory, or use URLs directly.

Pull Requests

Check CI status on a PR:

bash
gh pr checks 55 --repo owner/repo

List recent workflow runs:

bash
gh run list --repo owner/repo --limit 10

View a run and see which steps failed:

bash
gh run view <run-id> --repo owner/repo

View logs for failed steps only:

bash
gh run view <run-id> --repo owner/repo --log-failed

API for Advanced Queries

The gh api command is useful for accessing data not available through other subcommands.

Get PR with specific fields:

bash
gh api repos/owner/repo/pulls/55 --jq '.title, .state, .user.login'

JSON Output

Most commands support --json for structured output. You can use --jq to filter:

bash
gh issue list --repo owner/repo --json number,title --jq '.[] | "\(.number): \(.title)"'
