gh-aw: Skill for Claude Code

.github/skills/console-rendering/SKILL.md

console-rendering is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from github/gh-aw. It costs 17 tokens per session (737 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Go-based way to control how terminal output looks by adding labels and formatting rules to struct fields. Go is a programming language, and terminal output is text shown in a command-line window.

In plain words
What is it for?
Rendering Go structs, tables, workflow summaries, statuses, durations, numbers, and costs in command-line tools.
Why use it?
It avoids writing separate display code for every data structure. Values such as numbers and costs can be presented in a more readable form.

About the project

GitHub Agentic Workflows is a GitHub CLI extension that lets developers define AI-assisted repository automation in Markdown and run it through GitHub Actions. It is intended for tasks requiring interpretation or reasoning, such as issue triage, pull-request review, CI investigation, documentation maintenance, and dependency analysis. The catalogue entries provide skills and agents for working with these workflows.

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

console-rendering 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.

Console Rendering System Usage

Use this guide for the struct tag-based console rendering system.

Struct Tag Support

Use the console struct tag to control rendering behavior:

  • header:"Name" - Sets the display name for fields (used in both structs and tables)
  • title:"Section Title" - Sets the title for nested structs, slices, or maps
  • format:"type" - Sets the formatting type for the field value
    • format:number - Formats integers as human-readable numbers (e.g., "1k", "1.2M")
    • format:cost - Formats floats as currency with $ prefix (e.g., "$1.234")
  • omitempty - Skips the field if it has a zero value
  • "-" - Always skips the field

Example Usage

type Overview struct {
    RunID    int64  `console:"header:Run ID"`
    Workflow string `console:"header:Workflow"`
    Status   string `console:"header:Status"`
    Duration string `console:"header:Duration,omitempty"`
}

data := Overview{
    RunID:    12345,
    Workflow: "test-workflow",
    Status:   "completed",
    Duration: "5m30s",
}

// Simple rendering
fmt.Print(console.RenderStruct(data))

// Output:
//   Run ID  : 12345
//   Workflow: test-workflow
//   Status  : completed
//   Duration: 5m30s

Format Tag Examples

Number Formatting

type Metrics struct {
    TokenUsage int `console:"header:Token Usage,format:number"`
    Errors     int `console:"header:Errors"`
}

data := Metrics{
    TokenUsage: 250000,
    Errors:     5,
}

// Renders as:
//   Token Usage: 250k
//   Errors     : 5

Cost Formatting

type Billing struct {
    Cost float64 `console:"header:Estimated Cost,format:cost"`
}

data := Billing{
    Cost: 1.234,
}

// Renders as:
//   Estimated Cost: $1.234

Rendering Behavior

Structs

Structs are rendered as key-value pairs with proper alignment.

Slices

Slices of structs are automatically rendered as tables:

type Job struct {
    Name       string `console:"header:Name"`
    Status     string `console:"header:Status"`
    Conclusion string `console:"header:Conclusion,omitempty"`
}

jobs := []Job{
    {Name: "build", Status: "completed", Conclusion: "success"},
    {Name: "test", Status: "in_progress", Conclusion: ""},
}

fmt.Print(console.RenderStruct(jobs))

console-rendering is a skill published in the GitHub repository github/gh-aw (5,406 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 17 tokens to every session and 737 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-30.
