copilot-tooling: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/gh-sub-issue/SKILL.md

gh-sub-issue is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from grehnen/copilot-tooling. It costs 50 tokens per session (401 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A GitHub CLI extension for managing parent-child relationships between issues. These relationships let a larger issue contain smaller, related sub-issues.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create, link, list, or remove sub-issues, and to view their states, assignees, labels, and counts.
Why use it?
It makes hierarchical work easier to organize and inspect in GitHub.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is grehnen/copilot-tooling's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on copilot-tooling itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything copilot-tooling configures →

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

gh-sub-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 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.

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.
