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

github-labels-query 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 (query-labels.sh), 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.

What it actually says

GitHub Labels Query Skill

List GitHub repository labels with efficient pagination using the --per-page flag.

Usage

Use this script to list labels from any repository with controlled page sizes.

Basic Usage

./query-labels.sh --owner github --repo gh-aw
# Returns 10 labels (default per_page=10)

Pagination

# Get the first label only
./query-labels.sh --owner github --repo gh-aw --per-page 1

# Get 25 labels starting from page 2
./query-labels.sh --owner github --repo gh-aw --per-page 25 --page 2

Filtering by name

# Only labels whose name contains "bug" (case-insensitive)
./query-labels.sh --owner github --repo gh-aw --name-filter bug

When --name-filter is set, all labels are fetched and filtered, then --per-page/--page are applied to the filtered results.

Parameters

Parameter Required Default Description
--owner Yes - Repository owner (username or organization)
--repo Yes - Repository name
--per-page No 10 Results per page (1–100)
--page No 1 Page number
--name-filter No - Case-insensitive substring filter on the label name

Output

Returns JSON with the following fields:

{
  "labels": [
    {
      "id": 12345,
      "node_id": "LA_...",
      "url": "https://api.github.com/repos/owner/repo/labels/bug",
      "name": "bug",
      "color": "d73a4a",
      "default": true,
      "description": "Something isn't working"
    }
  ],
  "item_count": 10,
  "per_page": 10,
  "page": 1
}

Source

Calls the GitHub REST API: GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/labels?per_page={n}&page={n}

When --name-filter is used, the script pages through all labels (--paginate) before filtering and slicing locally.

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.
