git-project

git-project is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from dmythro/agent-skills. It costs 176 tokens per session (3,540 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for managing GitHub Projects, GitHub’s boards for organizing repository work. It uses command-line tools to structure issues into larger epics, smaller sub-issues, priorities, types, milestones, and workflow states.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to set up a project board, group issues under epics, move work through Todo, In Progress, and Done, prioritize issues, and classify tasks, bugs, and features.
Why use it?
It avoids confusing issue checklists, parent-child issue links, and board status, which can otherwise make project progress appear inaccurate. It keeps the roadmap and day-to-day work organized in GitHub.

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

git-project 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 4d 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.

GitHub Project Management

Primary skill for organizing a repository's issues into an epic-based roadmap on a GitHub Project (v2) and running the day-to-day on it. Covers setup (project, fields, views, native workflows) and operations (create epics with sub-issues, drive Status, move work, prioritize). GitHub-only, via gh project + gh api (REST sub-issues + GraphQL).

The conventions here are non-obvious and easy to get half-right: the UI nests issues by native parent/child links and tracks progress on a separate board Status field -- neither of which a markdown checklist or a closed issue touches. Get those two wrong and the work looks done while the structure silently drifts. This skill makes the flow correct-by-default.

When to Use

  • Setting up a project/roadmap -- create the Project, fields (Status, Priority), the Epic + Upcoming views, enable native workflows
  • Creating an epic with issues -- "make an epic X with these issues", "group these under an epic"
  • Filing / moving work -- attach an issue under an epic, move an issue between epics, add new work
  • Driving the board -- pick up an issue (-> In Progress), close one (-> Done), (re)prioritize
  • Classifying work -- set native issue Types (Task/Bug/Feature) instead of type labels
  • Milestone scoping -- create a milestone for a deliverable, assign issues, close it out; resolve "current milestone" / "milestone N"
  • Migrating an existing repo's loose issues into this structure
  • Configuring tool allowlists -- auto-approval patterns for read-only gh project commands

Critical Rules

These are the traps -- each is a place where the obvious action leaves the structure wrong.

  1. Epics nest by native sub-issues, NOT markdown checklists. A - [ ] #123 bullet is cosmetic; it does not create the parent/child link the UI and roadmap read. Link natively: gh issue edit <epic> --add-sub-issue <child> / gh issue create --parent <epic> (gh >= 2.94), or the REST sub-issues API. See references/sub-issues.md.
  2. Moving an issue between epics = re-parent the native link. One command: gh issue edit <child> --parent <newEpic> (replaces the old parent), then tidy body text. Editing bullets alone leaves it under the old epic -- the most common "looks moved but isn't" miss.
  3. The board Status is not automatic. Closing an issue does not set Done unless the native Item closed workflow is enabled. Set Status explicitly, or enable the native workflows once (see references/project-setup.md).
  4. Single-selects (Status, Priority) are set by option ID, not name. Look up field IDs + option IDs first (gh project field-list <num> --owner @me --format json), then item-edit. Names silently no-op.
  5. Views and workflow-enabling are one-time UI; everything else is scripted. There is no API to create/rename a view or toggle a workflow. Do those once in the UI (or copy a template); script the rest.
  6. Type and Milestone are issue metadata, NOT project fields. Set them on the issue (gh issue edit <n> --type Bug --milestone "v1.0"); the board mirrors them as built-in columns for grouping/filtering, but gh project item-edit cannot touch them and they never appear in field-list. Issue types exist only in org repos. See references/types-and-milestones.md.

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.
