gf-auth

An authentication helper for the gf command-line tool, which supports this project's GitHub, GitLab, and GitCode access.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when authenticating with gf, checking whether a login is active, obtaining credentials for API calls, or clearing local credentials. It does not revoke or rotate platform tokens.
Why use it?
It provides one place to log in, log out, check the current session, and retrieve an access token instead of handling these steps separately.

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

gf-auth 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 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.

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

gf-auth

Manages authentication lifecycle: login, logout, status, token retrieval. Does not revoke, rotate, or manage platform-side tokens.

CLI Requirement

MUST use gf CLI, NOT gh CLI.

CLI Scope Platform Support
gf This project GitHub + GitLab + GitCode
gh GitHub only GitHub only

Why: gf is the unified CLI for this project. Using gh breaks GitLab/GitCode compatibility.

Preconditions

  • gf installed: command -v gf
  • gf authenticated: gf auth status

Known Caveats

Note: gf auth status may show cached login state. If commands fail with auth errors, run gh auth status to verify the underlying token is valid. Re-run gf auth login or gh auth login if the token has expired.

When to Use

English 中文 Context
login 登录 obtain credentials
logout 登出 clear local credentials
auth status 认证状态 verify active session
access token 获取 Token downstream API calls
manage platform tokens 管理平台 Token NOT → web console

When NOT to Use

Scenario Why Not Use Instead
Token revocation/rotation This skill only manages local credentials, not platform-side tokens Platform web console (GitHub/GitLab/GitCode settings)
Creating personal access tokens Token creation happens on the platform, not locally Platform web console → Developer Settings
Storing tokens in files Violates token safety boundary — tokens must stay in OS credential store Use gf auth login (stores in OS keychain)
Debugging token values Token must never appear in logs, chat, or files Use gf auth status to verify session state
Managing SSH keys This skill handles OAuth/token auth, not SSH Platform web console → SSH Keys settings

Core Pattern

gf auth status                # 1. verify state
gf auth login [--token <t>]   # 2. authenticate
gf auth token                 # 3. retrieve (sensitive)
gf auth logout                # 4. clear credentials

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.

gf-auth is a skill published in the GitHub repository byx-darwin/gitflow-cli (2 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 41 tokens to every session and 1,487 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-31.
