A GitHub command-line workflow for working with repositories, issues, pull requests, pipelines, and project management. GitHub is a platform for hosting and collaborating on software projects.

Use it to review pull requests, inspect changed files and context, and perform supported GitHub operations through the gh command-line tool.

It provides a consistent way to inspect GitHub work, including complete pull-request metadata, diffs, and surrounding source code, while applying the required review rules.

github-cli — Skill for Claude Code and Codex by abdullahkhawer

Install

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.

Any agent

npx skills add abdullahkhawer/devops-skills --skill github-cli

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/abdullahkhawer/devops-skills

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00070	$0.00657
Opus 5.5	$0.00028	$0.00263
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00014	$0.00131
Haiku 4.5	$0.00007	$0.00066

Security

Grade A, and why

github-cli 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 1mo 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 41 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

GitHub CLI Skill

Use the instance and rules below when constructing all gh commands.

Instance

All gh CLI and git operations use host: github.com

Prerequisites (one-time setup by user)

If not already authenticated, inform the user that authentication is required and ask them to complete the following steps manually. Do not perform these steps yourself.

Install the gh CLI if not already installed:

brew install gh

Run the following command to authenticate with GitHub:

gh auth login

PR Code Review

When asked to review a GitHub PR (URL or PR ID provided), extract the <owner/repo> and <PR_ID> from the URL (ask the user if the repo is missing), then use gh api to fetch the PR metadata (repos/<owner>/<repo>/pulls/<PR_ID>) and its diff (repos/<owner>/<repo>/pulls/<PR_ID>/files --paginate). To fully understand the context and impact of all code changes, read the complete source branch codebase — the diff alone does not capture the surrounding logic, dependencies, or broader design that the changes interact with. Report the PR title, author, and branches, then review all changed files for: secrets/injection/XSS (security), inefficient algorithms/memory leaks (performance), code smells/dead code (quality), missing error handling, excessive or sensitive logging, and missing/outdated documentation. For each finding, include the file path, line number(s), the problematic snippet, and a suggested fix. If nothing is wrong, summarize what was reviewed and state it looks good.

Rules

Always pass --repo <owner>/<repo> explicitly for any gh subcommand that accepts it (e.g., pr list, issue list, run list) — without it, the command infers the repo from the current git directory, which may silently return wrong results.
When using gh api, use the path relative to https://api.github.com — e.g., gh api repos/<owner>/<repo>/pulls.
All gh api calls that return lists are paginated (default 30/page). Always pass --paginate to fetch all pages: gh api --paginate "repos/<owner>/<repo>/pulls".
For gh pr list, prefer explicit state flags: use --state closed for closed, --state merged for merged, or --state all for all states. Omitting --state returns open PRs by default.
NEVER target any GitHub Enterprise instance unless the user explicitly provides the hostname and confirms it is correct. If a URL references an unfamiliar hostname, stop and ask the user to confirm.

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.
