gitlab-issue is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from grandcamel/GitLab-Assistant-Skills. It costs 59 tokens per session (1,953 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

GitLab issue management for tracking bugs, tasks, and other pieces of work in a repository.

In plain words

Listing issues, viewing details, creating or changing issues, closing or reopening them, and adding comments.
Why use it?
It keeps issue work inside the coding workflow, so the agent can inspect and update tickets without switching to the GitLab website.

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

gitlab-issue 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 4d 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.

When to Use This Skill

ALWAYS use when:

  • User wants to work with issues
  • User mentions "issue", "bug", "task", "ticket" or related terms
  • User wants to track or manage work items

NEVER use when:

  • User wants bulk operations on 10+ issues (use gitlab-bulk instead)
  • User is only searching/filtering issues (use gitlab-search instead)

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.
