cyrus-setup-gitlab

cyrus-setup-gitlab is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from cyrusagents/cyrus. It costs 27 tokens per session (467 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A setup guide for connecting Cyrus, a background coding agent, to GitLab and configuring Git identity. GitLab is a service for hosting code and reviewing changes through merge requests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to authenticate the GitLab command-line tool and prepare Cyrus to create branches, commits, and merge requests. It supports both GitLab.com and self-hosted GitLab servers.
Why use it?
It removes the manual work of logging in to GitLab and configuring the Git name and email used on commits. It also helps verify whether the setup is already complete.

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

cyrus-setup-gitlab 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.

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 it actually says

CRITICAL: Never use Read, Edit, or Write tools on ~/.cyrus/.env or any file inside ~/.cyrus/. Use only Bash commands (grep, printf >>, etc.) to interact with env files — secrets must never be read into the conversation context.

Setup GitLab

Configures GitLab CLI and git so Cyrus can create branches, commits, and merge requests.

Step 1: Check Existing Configuration

Check if glab is already authenticated:

glab auth status 2>&1

If authenticated, check git config:

git config --global user.name
git config --global user.email

If both glab auth and git config are set, inform the user:

GitLab is already configured. Skipping this step.

Skip to completion.

Step 2: Authenticate GitLab CLI

If glab is not authenticated:

glab auth login

This opens an interactive browser flow. Let the user complete it.

For self-hosted GitLab instances, the user can specify the hostname:

glab auth login --hostname gitlab.example.com

After completion, verify:

glab auth status

Step 3: Configure Git Identity

If git user name or email are not set, ask the user for their preferred values:

What name should appear on commits made by Cyrus? (e.g., your name, or "Cyrus Bot")

What email should appear on commits? (e.g., your email, or a noreply address)

Then set them:

git config --global user.name "<name>"
git config --global user.email "<email>"

Step 4: Verify

glab auth status
git config --global user.name
git config --global user.email

Completion

✓ GitLab CLI authenticated ✓ Git identity configured: <name> <email>

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.
