What it does
GitHub Issues is an agent skill from taracodlabs/aiden. Create, list, view, and manage GitHub issues using the gh CLI
Its SKILL.md is about 900 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `skill.json`).
It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Aiden — an autonomous AI agent and work engine built solo. It can operate your browser, terminal, files, apps, APIs, skills and tools, remember context, recover from failures… The licence is Apache-2.0.
Example prompts
- “/github-issues”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
8 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3704204. 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:
ghpython
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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
GH_TOKEN
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
GitHub Issues loads about 895 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 19 tokens; SKILL.md has 244 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
The full file from taracodlabs/aiden at commit 3704204, republished under its Apache-2.0 licence (© taracodlabs). 244 words, ~895 tokens.

GitHub Issues Management
Manage GitHub issues — create, list, view, label, assign, and close issues — using the gh CLI. Requires gh auth login (see github-auth skill) or GH_TOKEN environment variable.
When to Use
- User wants to create a bug report or feature request issue
- User wants to list open issues in a repository
- User wants to add a comment or close an issue
- User wants to filter issues by label, assignee, or milestone
- User wants to bulk-triage or update multiple issues
How to Use
1. List open issues
# List open issues in current repo
gh issue list
# List with specific filters
gh issue list --state open --label bug --limit 20
# List issues assigned to me
gh issue list --assignee @me2. View an issue
gh issue view 42
gh issue view 42 --comments3. Create a new issue
# Interactive (opens editor)
gh issue create
# Non-interactive with all fields
gh issue create --title "Login fails on mobile Safari" --body "Steps to reproduce:
1. Open app on iOS Safari
2. Tap Sign In
3. Form submits but returns to login page
Expected: successful login. Actual: redirect loop." --label bug --assignee "@me"4. Add a comment
gh issue comment 42 --body "Investigated — root cause is a CSRF token mismatch. Fix in progress."5. Edit an issue (labels, assignees, milestone, title)
# Add a label
gh issue edit 42 --add-label "priority:high"
# Remove a label and add another
gh issue edit 42 --remove-label bug --add-label wont-fix
# Assign to someone
gh issue edit 42 --add-assignee johndoe
# Change title
gh issue edit 42 --title "Login redirect loop on mobile Safari"6. Close and reopen issues
# Close (resolved)
gh issue close 42 --comment "Fixed in v2.1.3"
# Close as not planned
gh issue close 42 --reason "not planned"
# Reopen
gh issue reopen 427. Search issues across repos
# Search open issues mentioning a keyword
gh issue list --repo owner/repo --search "authentication token" --state all
# GitHub search syntax in --search
gh issue list --repo owner/repo --search "label:bug created:>2026-01-01"8. Bulk operations
# Close all issues with a specific label
gh issue list --label "duplicate" --limit 100 --json number |
python -c "import json,sys; [print(i['number']) for i in json.load(sys.stdin)]" |
ForEach-Object { gh issue close $_ --reason "not planned" }Examples
"Create a GitHub issue for the login bug we just found"
→ Use step 3 with title, body describing steps to reproduce, and --label bug.
"Show me all open bugs assigned to me in this repo"
→ Use step 1: gh issue list --label bug --assignee @me.
"Close issue 42 and add a comment that it's fixed"
→ Use step 6: gh issue close 42 --comment "Fixed in latest release".
Cautions
ghmust be authenticated — rungh auth statusto verify before use- Labels must already exist in the repository — creating non-existent labels with
--add-labelwill error - Bulk operations cannot be undone — confirm with the user before closing multiple issues
- Issue numbers are repository-specific — always confirm the correct repo with
--repo owner/repofor multi-repo workflows
