gitlab-repo

gitlab-repo is a skill for Claude Code from grandcamel/GitLab-Assistant-Skills. It costs 59 tokens per session (2,030 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of commands for managing GitLab repositories, which are projects containing source code and its history. It handles repository actions through GitLab's command line tool.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to search for repositories, view project information, clone or fork projects, create repositories, manage contributors, and change repository settings.
Why use it?
It puts common repository tasks in the terminal and keeps them separate from commands that edit files inside an already cloned project. Some actions, such as archiving or deleting a repository, affect the project itself.

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-repo 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 9d 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.
