github-repository

github-repository is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from fmind/dotfiles. It costs 47 tokens per session (935 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for setting a GitHub repository’s description, homepage, topic tags, and selected solo-developer settings using gh. It derives the settings from the repository’s code, manifests, README, and hosting setup.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating, tidying, or standardising a GitHub repository’s public information. It can identify the project summary, homepage, relevant tags, and appropriate solo-developer settings from the codebase.
Why use it?
It avoids inconsistent or vague repository metadata and reduces clutter in a personal project’s GitHub interface. It also keeps topics within GitHub’s naming rules.

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-repository 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.

Configure GitHub Repository

Inspect a GitHub repository and configure its metadata (description, homepage, topics) and solo-developer settings via gh — clean merge history, secure defaults, and a decluttered UI.

Workflow

Follow these steps to inspect the codebase and apply the configurations:

1. Extract Repository Metadata

Inspect the codebase files to discover or derive the repository metadata:

  • Primary Source (Manifests): Check project manifest files:
    • Go: go.mod (under module path for the package/project name).
    • Python: pyproject.toml (under [project] fields for name, description, homepage/urls).
  • Secondary Source (README): Read the README.md first few paragraphs to extract a concise, high-level description (under ~140 characters).
  • Homepage URL: Derive from hosting setups (e.g., https://<username>.github.io/<repo> for GitHub Pages).
  • Topics/Tags: Select 3 to 6 descriptive tags representing the main programming language, frameworks, tools, or domain (e.g., agent, python, cli).
    • Constraint: Topics must be lowercase letters, numbers, or hyphens, 50 characters or less, and start with a letter or number (max 20 per repo).

2. Verify GitHub CLI & Inspect Current State

Ensure the GitHub CLI (gh) is authenticated, and fetch the repository's current settings to make changes idempotent:

# Check authentication status
gh auth status

# Get the origin remote URL
git config --get remote.origin.url

# Inspect existing metadata and settings
gh repo view --json description,homepageUrl,repositoryTopics,deleteBranchOnMerge,squashMergeAllowed,mergeCommitAllowed,rebaseMergeAllowed,hasIssuesEnabled,hasProjectsEnabled,hasWikiEnabled,hasDiscussionsEnabled

If the repository does not have an active GitHub remote or gh is not authenticated, report this and halt.

3. Apply Consolidated Configurations

Combine metadata updates and solo developer optimizations into a single consolidated gh repo edit command to maximize speed and efficiency:

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.

github-repository is a skill published in the GitHub repository fmind/dotfiles (4 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 47 tokens to every session and 935 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
