GitHub Attach Images

A procedure for adding screenshots or other images to GitHub pull-request and issue comments by hosting them in a separate scratch repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
Organising screenshots, pushing them to GitHub, and posting comments with embedded images and descriptions.
Why use it?
GitHub comments need publicly reachable image links for embedded images, so the procedure stores the files in a repository and creates those links.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 Attach Images 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.

What it actually says

GitHub Attach Images

Attach images to GitHub PRs or issues by hosting them in a scratch repo.

When to use

  • Adding screenshots to PR comments
  • Attaching images to issue comments
  • Any GitHub comment needing embedded images

Setup scratch repo

  1. Clone or create scratch repo

    git clone [email protected]:<USERNAME>/scratch.git /tmp/scratch
    

    If it doesn't exist, create a public repo called scratch first.

  2. Folder structure

    scratch/
    └── github-attachments/
        └── <org>_<repo>_<pr-or-issue>/
            ├── 01-screenshot.png
            └── 02-screenshot.png
    

Add images

  1. Copy images to scratch repo

    mkdir -p /tmp/scratch/github-attachments/<org>_<repo>_<number>
    cp /path/to/screenshots/*.png /tmp/scratch/github-attachments/<org>_<repo>_<number>/
    
  2. Push to GitHub

    cd /tmp/scratch
    git add .
    git commit -m "chore: images for <org>/<repo>#<number>"
    git push

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.
