What it does
Gh CLI is an agent skill from trailofbits/skills, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Enforces authenticated gh CLI workflows over unauthenticated curl, WebFetch, and MCP fetch patterns. Use when working with GitHub URLs, API access, pull requests, or issues.
Its SKILL.md is about 310 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including assets (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).
It sits in Development, covering Pull requests. It works with GitHub and Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Trail of Bits Claude Code skills for security research, vulnerability detection, and audit workflows. The licence is CC-BY-SA-4.0.
When your agent uses it
- Working with GitHub URLs
- Tasks that involve Pull requests
Example prompts
- “Use the gh-cli skill to enforce authenticated gh CLI workflows over unauthenticated curl, WebFetch, and MCP fetch patterns”
- “/gh-cli”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 82fe822. 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
Gh CLI loads about 311 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 45 tokens; SKILL.md has 132 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

- gh-cli
- description
- Enforces authenticated gh CLI workflows over unauthenticated curl, WebFetch, and MCP fetch patterns. Use when working with GitHub URLs, API access, pull requests, or issues.
gh-cli
When to Use
- Working with GitHub repositories, pull requests, issues, releases, or raw file URLs.
- You need authenticated access to private repositories or higher API rate limits.
- You are about to use
curl,wget,WebFetch, or an MCP fetch tool against GitHub.
When NOT to Use
- The target is not GitHub.
- Plain local git operations already solve the task.
Guidance
Prefer the authenticated gh CLI over raw HTTP fetches for GitHub content. In particular:
- Prefer
gh repo view,gh pr view,gh pr list,gh issue view, andgh apiover unauthenticatedcurlorwget. - Prefer cloning a repository and reading files locally over fetching
raw.githubusercontent.comblobs directly. - Avoid using GitHub API
/contents/endpoints as a substitute for cloning and reading repository files.
Examples:
gh repo view owner/repo
gh pr view 123 --repo owner/repo
gh api repos/owner/repo/pullsFor the hook implementation, see:
