A guide for using the gh command-line tool to work with GitHub repositories, issues, pull requests, and CI runs. CI is automated checking of builds and tests.

Checking pull requests and CI, reviewing or managing issues, querying GitHub, and creating or merging pull requests.

It collects common GitHub tasks in one place and clarifies when to use GitHub commands instead of local Git commands.

github — Skill for Claude Code by AIOSAI/AIPass

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 AIOSAI/AIPass --skill github

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/AIOSAI/AIPass

Made for: Claude Code.

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	$0.00023	$0.01016
Opus 5.5	$0.00009	$0.00406
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00005	$0.00203
Haiku 4.5	$0.00002	$0.00102

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 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 — 151 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

GitHub Skill

Use the gh CLI to interact with GitHub repositories, issues, PRs, and CI.

When to Use

USE this skill when:

Checking PR status, reviews, or merge readiness
Viewing CI/workflow run status and logs
Creating, closing, or commenting on issues
Creating or merging pull requests
Querying GitHub API for repository data
Listing repos, releases, or collaborators

When NOT to Use

DON'T use this skill when:

Local git operations (commit, push, pull, branch) -> use git directly
Non-GitHub repos (GitLab, Bitbucket, self-hosted) -> different CLIs
Cloning repositories -> use git clone
Reviewing actual code changes -> use coding-agent skill
Complex multi-file diffs -> use coding-agent or read files directly

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.
