github-ops

github-ops is a skill for Claude Code from ARCASSystems/FounderOS. It costs 67 tokens per session (1,323 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command-line tool for managing GitHub work, including issues, pull requests, repositories, releases, and automated checks. GitHub is a service for hosting code and collaborating on software projects.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect or manage issues, pull requests, branches, releases, and CI runs, where CI means automated build and test checks.
Why use it?
It lets an agent handle routine GitHub tasks from the terminal and use the same workflow across repositories.

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-ops 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 today.

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

GitHub Operations

Runs on: local-exec - runs a local script; on a cloud surface I read the results, I do not run it.

Fast GitHub operations on any repo your gh CLI is authenticated against.

Trigger

When the operator asks about GitHub issues, PRs, repos, actions, or releases.

Interface: gh CLI is canonical

Use the gh CLI via Bash for all read and write operations: gh issue list, gh pr view, gh api, gh run list, and so on. The CLI is the canonical interface for this skill.

A GitHub MCP server, if present in the session, may expose only authenticate and complete_authentication (auth-only) and not the full issue, PR, or Actions tool surface. Do not assume MCP covers an operation. Check the available tools at session start before relying on MCP, and fall back to gh whenever MCP does not cover what you need. If a future session has a fuller GitHub MCP wired up, prefer those tools and fall back to gh only for gaps.

Pre-flight

  • Confirm gh is installed and authenticated: gh auth status. If it is not, tell the operator to run gh auth login and stop.
  • Confirm the target repo. If the working directory is a git repo, gh infers it. For another repo, pass --repo owner/name explicitly.

Capabilities

A title or body holds someone's words, and an issue body often holds code in backticks. Inside double quotes on the command line those backticks and any $(...) run as commands. So never put real text in quotes after --title or --body. Pass the title through a quoted block and the body on stdin with --body-file -, every line at the left edge with no spaces in front:

gh issue create --title "$(cat <<'FOUNDER_OS_TITLE_END'
<the title>
FOUNDER_OS_TITLE_END
)" --body-file - <<'FOUNDER_OS_BODY_END'
<the body, as many lines as it needs>
FOUNDER_OS_BODY_END

gh issue comment <number> and gh pr create take the same --body-file - block (and gh pr create the same --title block). If the text has a line that reads exactly FOUNDER_OS_TITLE_END or FOUNDER_OS_BODY_END, do not run 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-ops is a skill published in the GitHub repository ARCASSystems/FounderOS (6 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 67 tokens to every session and 1,323 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
