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 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (gh.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 79 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

GitHub

When to Use

  • List repositories, issues, or pull requests
  • Create or view issues and PRs
  • Check CI/workflow run status
  • Create or manage releases
  • Query GitHub REST or GraphQL API
  • Review PR checks, comments, or status

When NOT to Use

  • General git commands (commit, push, branch) — use git directly
  • Cloning public repos — use git clone without this skill
  • Tasks that don't involve GitHub (e.g., local file operations)

Setup

  1. For gh CLI: Install with brew install gh (macOS) or see cli.github.com
  2. Auth: Run gh auth login or set GH_TOKEN / GITHUB_TOKEN
  3. For Python fallback: Create a PAT at https://github.com/settings/tokens and add to pythonclaw.json:
"skills": {
  "github": {
    "token": "ghp_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
  }
}

Usage/Commands

gh CLI (Preferred)

Action Command
List PRs gh pr list --repo owner/repo
View PR gh pr view <number> --repo owner/repo
Create PR gh pr create --repo owner/repo --title "..." --body "..."
PR checks gh pr checks <number> --repo owner/repo
List issues gh issue list --repo owner/repo
Create issue gh issue create --repo owner/repo --title "..." --body "..."
Workflow runs gh run list --repo owner/repo
View run gh run view <run_id> --repo owner/repo
REST API gh api /repos/owner/repo
GraphQL gh api graphql -f query='{ viewer { login } }'

Python Fallback

When gh is not installed or for custom logic:

python {skill_path}/gh.py <command> [options]
  • repos <user> — list user's public repositories
  • repo <owner/repo> — get repository details
  • issues <owner/repo> — list open issues
  • create-issue <owner/repo> --title "..." --body "..." — create an issue
  • prs <owner/repo> — list open pull requests
  • pr <owner/repo> <number> — get PR details

Notes

  • Prefer gh CLI for standard operations; it handles auth, pagination, and output formatting
  • Use {skill_path}/gh.py when you need Python-specific behavior or gh is unavailable
  • For CI runs, gh run list and gh run view show Actions workflow status

Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.
