What it does

Repo2skill is an agent skill from zhangyanxs/repo2skill. Convert GitHub/GitLab/Gitee repositories into comprehensive OpenCode Skills using embedded LLM calls with multiple mirrors and rate limit handling

Its SKILL.md is about 3.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `IMPLEMENTATION.md`, `references/gitee-api.md` and `references/github-api.md`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Rate limiting. It works with GitHub and GitLab. The repository describes itself as: Repository to Skill Converter.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c8a4ddc. 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
Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- curl
- git
- node
- bash
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
- gitlab.com
- gitee.com
- api.github.com
- github.com
- gh.api.888888888.xyz
- gh-proxy.com
- api.fastgit.org

- github.91chi.fun
- mirror.ghproxy.com
- raw.githubusercontent.com
- raw.fastgit.org
- raw.kgithub.com
- gl.gitmirror.com
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

Repo2skill loads about 3.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 841 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~39
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~3.6k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~5.1k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 841 words (~3,573 tokens).

Questions about Repo2skill

What does Repo2skill do?

Convert GitHub/GitLab/Gitee repositories into comprehensive OpenCode Skills using embedded LLM calls with multiple mirrors and rate limit handling. Repo2skill is an agent skill from zhangyanxs/repo2skill.

When should I use Repo2skill?

Repo2skill fits situations like: tasks that involve Rate limiting.

How do I install Repo2skill in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add zhangyanxs/repo2skill --skill repo2skill -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (repo2skill in zhangyanxs/repo2skill) into .claude/skills/repo2skill in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Repo2skill in Codex?

Run `npx skills add zhangyanxs/repo2skill --skill repo2skill -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (repo2skill in zhangyanxs/repo2skill) into .agents/skills/repo2skill in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Repo2skill in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add zhangyanxs/repo2skill --skill repo2skill -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/repo2skill, .gemini/skills/repo2skill, .github/skills/repo2skill and .opencode/skills/repo2skill in your project.

What does Repo2skill need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Repo2skill needs a shell for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (curl, git, node and bash). Our summary lists: Python 3; Node.js; A Bash shell.

Does Repo2skill access the network?

SKILL.md names 15 domains. In commands or code: gitlab.com, gitee.com, api.github.com, github.com, gh.api.888888888.xyz, gh-proxy.com, api.fastgit.org, api.kgithub.com, githubapi.muicss.com, github.91chi.fun, mirror.ghproxy.com, raw.githubusercontent.com, raw.fastgit.org, raw.kgithub.com and gl.gitmirror.com; the agent is likely to contact these when it follows the instructions. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Repo2skill safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.

What licence does Repo2skill use?

No licence was found for Repo2skill or its repository. Without one, default copyright applies: ask the author before reusing or redistributing it.

How many tokens does Repo2skill use?

About 3.6k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 14k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 1.5k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.

What are the alternatives to Repo2skill?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Repo2skill: Better Auth Security Best Practices (EpicenterHQ/epicenter, 4.8k stars), Dload Fetch Tool (php-internal/dload, 105 stars), Latchkey (imbue-ai/latchkey, 130 stars) and Apiker (hodgef/apiker, 127 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
