github-ops

A guide for managing GitHub repositories with the gh command-line tool, including issues, pull requests, CI/CD, releases, and security alerts. GitHub hosts code and tracks collaborative development; CI/CD automates testing and delivery.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to triage issues, review pull requests, check CI status, manage releases, monitor Dependabot alerts, and support contributors.
Why use it?
It provides a repeatable way to organize repository work, investigate automation failures, and prepare changes for release.

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 yesterday.

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.

GitHub Operations

Manage GitHub repositories with a focus on community health, CI reliability, and contributor experience.

When to Activate

  • Triaging issues (classifying, labeling, responding, deduplicating)
  • Managing PRs (review status, CI checks, stale PRs, merge readiness)
  • Debugging CI/CD failures
  • Preparing releases and changelogs
  • Monitoring Dependabot and security alerts
  • Managing contributor experience on open-source projects
  • User says "check GitHub", "triage issues", "review PRs", "merge", "release", "CI is broken"

Tool Requirements

  • gh CLI for all GitHub API operations
  • Repository access configured via gh auth login

Issue Triage

Classify each issue by type and priority:

Types: bug, feature-request, question, documentation, enhancement, duplicate, invalid, good-first-issue

Priority: critical (breaking/security), high (significant impact), medium (nice to have), low (cosmetic)

Triage Workflow

  1. Read the issue title, body, and comments
  2. Check if it duplicates an existing issue (search by keywords)
  3. Apply appropriate labels via gh issue edit --add-label
  4. For questions: draft and post a helpful response
  5. For bugs needing more info: ask for reproduction steps
  6. For good first issues: add good-first-issue label
  7. For duplicates: comment with link to original, add duplicate label
# Search for potential duplicates
gh issue list --search "keyword" --state all --limit 20

# Add labels
gh issue edit <number> --add-label "bug,high-priority"

# Comment on issue
gh issue comment <number> --body "Thanks for reporting. Could you share reproduction steps?"

PR Management

Review Checklist

  1. Check CI status: gh pr checks <number>
  2. Check if mergeable: gh pr view <number> --json mergeable
  3. Check age and last activity
  4. Flag PRs >5 days with no review
  5. For community PRs: ensure they have tests and follow conventions

Stale Policy

  • Issues with no activity in 14+ days: add stale label, comment asking for update
  • PRs with no activity in 7+ days: comment asking if still active
  • Auto-close stale issues after 30 days with no response (add closed-stale label)

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.
