A guide to glab, the command-line tool for GitLab, a platform for hosting code and coordinating development work. It focuses on merge requests and CI/CD pipelines, which automatically build and test code.

Use it to create or review merge requests and check the status of GitLab CI/CD pipelines.

It keeps common GitLab review and pipeline tasks in one documented workflow.

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	$0.00046	$0.01801
Opus 5.5	$0.00018	$0.00720
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00009	$0.00360
Haiku 4.5	$0.00005	$0.00180

Security

Grade B, and why

glab-cli scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 12d 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.

What ships with it

4 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.
