Guidance for using the gh command-line tool, which lets developers manage GitHub repositories from a terminal. It covers common repository, issue, pull request, review, Actions, label, and release tasks.

Use it when working with GitHub repositories, issues, pull requests, code reviews, automated Actions, labels, releases, or GitHub links.

It keeps GitHub work in one consistent command-line workflow instead of requiring separate manual steps for each task.

gh-cli — Skill for Claude Code and Codex by alyraffauf/hoenn

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 alyraffauf/hoenn --skill gh-cli

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/alyraffauf/hoenn

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

Origin unknown No closer match found in the catalogue.

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	$0.00052	$0.00826
Opus 5.5	$0.00021	$0.00330
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00010	$0.00165
Haiku 4.5	$0.00005	$0.00083

Security

Grade A, and why

gh-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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 6 executable files (scripts/gh_context.sh, scripts/pr_feedback.sh, scripts/pr_review_comment_reply.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.

What ships with it

8 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.
