github

A guide to using the GitHub command-line tool, which manages repositories, issues, pull requests, code searches, and automated checks from a terminal.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to view repositories, list or create issues and pull requests, inspect CI runs, search code or issues, clone repositories, and star projects.
Why use it?
It keeps common GitHub tasks in the command line and supports structured output for scripts or quick filtering.

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 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

Use the gh CLI for GitHub operations. The user must be authenticated (gh auth login).

Common operations

  • List repos: gh repo list
  • View repo: gh repo view owner/repo
  • List issues: gh issue list -R owner/repo
  • Create issue: gh issue create -R owner/repo --title "Title" --body "Body"
  • List PRs: gh pr list -R owner/repo
  • View PR: gh pr view 123 -R owner/repo
  • Create PR: gh pr create --title "Title" --body "Body"
  • Check CI status: gh run list -R owner/repo --limit 5
  • View run logs: gh run view <run-id> --log-failed
  • Star a repo: gh repo star owner/repo
  • Clone: gh repo clone owner/repo
  • Search code: gh search code "pattern" -R owner/repo
  • Search issues: gh search issues "query" -R owner/repo

Tips

  • Use --json flag for machine-readable output: gh issue list --json number,title,state
  • Use --jq for filtering: gh pr list --json title,url --jq '.[].url'
  • Most commands accept -R owner/repo to target a specific repository
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.
