A reusable guide for creating GitHub pull requests, which are proposed code changes reviewed before they are merged. It uses the command-line GitHub tool and follows each repository’s documented conventions.

Use it to create a correctly named branch, commit changes, open a pull request, apply repository labels or milestones, and update a linked Jira issue.

It removes the need to remember each project’s branch names, commit wording, pull-request format, and labels. It also helps assemble the request from the actual code changes.

github — Skill for Claude Code by AlirezaSoltaniJazi/Skillnir

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 AlirezaSoltaniJazi/Skillnir --skill github

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/AlirezaSoltaniJazi/Skillnir

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	$0.00128	$0.02719
Opus 5.5	$0.00051	$0.01088
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00026	$0.00544
Haiku 4.5	$0.00013	$0.00272

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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/validate-github.sh), 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 139 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Before You Start

Read LEARNED.md first. It holds corrections, preferences, and per-repo conventions (branch style, base branch, PR-template path, label taxonomy, the linked Jira review status) discovered in previous sessions. Every rule there overrides defaults in this skill.

Announce skill usage. Say "Using: github skill" at the very start of your response before doing any work.

Preflight: run gh auth status. Note the token's scopes — if it lacks project, never pass gh pr create -p (adding a PR to a GitHub Project needs that scope).

When to Use

Raising a pull request following the repo's convention
Creating a convention-named branch for a Jira ticket
Committing with the repo's ticket-prefixed subject format
Building a PR body from the diff + the repo's PR template
Applying labels / milestone and updating the linked Jira ticket

Do NOT Use

GitLab merge requests — use gitlab (wrong platform; gh can't open MRs).
Creating or transitioning Jira tickets as the primary task — use jira. This skill only updates the linked ticket at the end of the PR flow.
CI/CD workflow files (.github/workflows/), pre-commit, quality gates — use devopsEngineer (workflow/pipeline YAML is a different concern from raising a PR).
Never add file paths / code to the Jira ticket — keep the ticket non-technical; technical detail goes in the PR body.

Access & Convention Detection

Fact	Value
Tool	`gh` CLI (authenticated) + `git`
Owner / repo	Auto-resolved from the current repo — never hardcode
Default branch	Detect, don't assume
Token scopes	From `gh auth status` — no `project` ⇒ never `gh pr create -p`

Files

What ships with it

9 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.
