github-tracker

A read-only GitHub assistant for finding pull requests, issues, notifications, and project-board items that need attention. GitHub is a service where developers store code and collaborate on changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to list or summarize open pull requests, issues, notifications, project boards, checks, and related discussions.
Why use it?
It gathers activity from GitHub without changing anything there, so you can review pending work safely. It requires the GitHub command-line tool to be installed and signed in.

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-tracker scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

The `gh` CLI must be installed and authenticated (`gh auth status` should succeed). All commands use `gh` — never raw `curl` with tokens.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 222 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

GitHub Tracker

Surface GitHub pull requests, issues, notifications, and project board items that need attention using the gh CLI.

Read-Only Safety Constraint

This skill is strictly read-only. NEVER execute any gh command that creates, modifies, or deletes GitHub resources. This means:

Allowed: gh search, gh pr view, gh issue view, gh pr checks, gh api (GET requests), gh api graphql (queries only), gh repo list, gh pr list, gh issue list, gh notification list

Forbidden: gh pr create, gh pr merge, gh pr close, gh pr edit, gh pr review, gh issue create, gh issue close, gh issue edit, gh pr comment, gh issue comment, gh api -X POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE (any mutating HTTP method), any GraphQL mutations, or any other command that writes data to GitHub.

If the user asks you to take an action on GitHub (merge a PR, comment on an issue, close something), tell them this skill is read-only and they should do it themselves in the GitHub UI or CLI.

Prerequisites

The gh CLI must be installed and authenticated (gh auth status should succeed). All commands use gh — never raw curl with tokens.

Before running any commands, verify gh is available:

gh auth status

If this fails, tell the user to install and authenticate gh: https://cli.github.com/

Getting the Current User

Never hardcode a username. Always resolve it dynamically:

gh api user --jq '.login'

Cache the result in a variable for the session.

Core Workflows

1. PRs Needing My Attention

This is the most common ask. "Attention" means multiple things — combine these signals:

a) Review requests (highest priority):

gh search prs --review-requested=@me --state=open --json repository,title,number,url,updatedAt,labels --limit 50

b) PRs where I'm mentioned or assigned:

gh search prs --mentions=@me --state=open --json repository,title,number,url,updatedAt --limit 30
gh search prs --assignee=@me --state=open --json repository,title,number,url,updatedAt --limit 30

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-tracker is a skill published in the GitHub repository adrielp/ai-engineering-harness (20 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 204 tokens to every session and 2,175 once invoked, about $0.0010 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
