gitlab-scrum

A command set for managing GitLab issues, labels, milestones, and issue boards from the command line. Scrum and Kanban are ways to organize work through planned stages such as backlog, in progress, and done.

In plain words
What is it for?
Create, list, update, assign, comment on, close, and reopen GitLab issues. Set up Scrum or Kanban labels, milestones, and board columns.
Why use it?
It removes the need to manage routine task-tracking work manually in GitLab’s web interface. It keeps issues organized by status, sprint, assignee, and labels.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/gettalon/talon-plugins

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

gitlab-scrum scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Quick Reference

Issues

# Create issue
glab issue create --title "Title" --description "Body" --label "To Do" --milestone "Sprint Name"

# List issues
glab issue list                          # Open issues
glab issue list --milestone "Sprint X"   # By sprint
glab issue list --label "Doing"          # By status
glab issue list --assignee @me           # My issues

# Update issue
glab issue update <ID> --label "Doing" --unlabel "To Do"  # Move on board
glab issue update <ID> --assignee "username"                # Assign
glab issue update <ID> --milestone "Sprint X"               # Set sprint

# Close / reopen
glab issue close <ID>
glab issue reopen <ID>

# Comment
glab issue note <ID> --message "Comment text"

# View
glab issue view <ID>
glab issue view <ID> --web  # Open in browser

Labels (Board Columns)

# Scrum labels (create once)
glab label create --name "To Do" --color "#F0AD4E"
glab label create --name "Doing" --color "#5CB85C"
glab label create --name "Review" --color "#0033CC"
glab label create --name "Done" --color "#69D100"

# List labels
glab label list

Milestones (Sprints)

# Create sprint
glab milestone create --project <project-path> --title "Sprint 2026-W13" \
  --description "Goals..." --due-date "2026-03-28"

# List sprints
glab milestone list --project <project-path>

# Close sprint
glab api "projects/<encoded-path>/milestones/<ID>" --method PUT --field "state_event=close"

NOTE: --project flag is REQUIRED for milestone commands. Get project path from git remote get-url origin, strip the hostname and .git suffix. Example: iclass/mdm/node-mdm-go

Boards (via API)

# Boards require glab api (no native CLI commands)
PROJECT_PATH=$(git remote get-url origin | sed -E 's|.*://[^/]+/||;s|\.git$||' | sed 's|/|%2F|g')

# Create board
glab api "projects/${PROJECT_PATH}/boards" --method POST --field "name=Scrum Board"

# List boards
glab api "projects/${PROJECT_PATH}/boards"

# Add label list to board (need label ID from `glab label list`)
glab api "projects/${PROJECT_PATH}/boards/<BOARD_ID>/lists" --method POST --field "label_id=<LABEL_ID>"

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
