github

A search tool for finding public GitHub repositories, code, issues, and implementation details. GitHub is a website where developers share source code and discuss software problems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to discover libraries, find example implementations, research debugging questions, and check whether a repository already tracks an issue.
Why use it?
It helps locate real code and upstream bug reports when documentation or general web results are not enough.

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

github 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (methods/search_public_repos.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Overview

GitHub is the primary channel for repository discovery, issue triage, and code search across open source software. It is the right surface when the user is asking how something is implemented, which repo is authoritative, or whether a bug already exists upstream.

For autosearch, this channel anchors developer intent to concrete artifacts instead of commentary. It matters because many technical queries are better answered by repositories, issue threads, and source snippets than by generic web summaries.

When to Choose It

  • Choose it when the query names a package, framework, SDK, CLI, or implementation pattern.
  • Choose it for debugging signals such as open issues, regressions, workarounds, or maintainer discussion.
  • Choose it when repository health, stars, forks, recent activity, and code examples are relevant.
  • Prefer it over forum channels when the user wants source-of-truth implementation detail.
  • Avoid it for general news, consumer reviews, or person-focused lookups.

How To Search (Planned)

  • search_repositories - Call the GitHub Search Repositories API with keyword and language qualifiers, then rank likely primary repos by relevance and activity.
  • search_issues - Call the GitHub Search Issues API to find bug reports, feature requests, and maintainer responses tied to the query.
  • search_code - Call the GitHub Search Code API for symbol names, config fragments, or error strings when implementation detail matters more than repo discovery.
  • search_code - Normalize output around repository, path, snippet context, and canonical GitHub URLs for downstream evidence ranking.

Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

github is a skill published in the GitHub repository 0xmariowu/Autosearch (44 stars, last pushed 25d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 698 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
