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-openapi-skill 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 2mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/validate.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.

GitHub REST API Skill

Use this skill to run GitHub REST API operations through uxc + OpenAPI.

Reuse the uxc skill for shared execution, auth, and error-handling guidance.

Prerequisites

  • uxc is installed and available in PATH.
  • gh is installed and already authenticated with gh auth login.
  • Network access to https://api.github.com.
  • Access to the official GitHub REST OpenAPI schema URL:
    • https://raw.githubusercontent.com/github/rest-api-description/main/descriptions/api.github.com/api.github.com.json

Authentication

Preferred Path: Import local gh auth into uxc

Import the current GitHub CLI token into a local uxc bearer credential and create a standard GitHub API binding:

uxc auth credential import github --from gh

This creates:

  • credential: github
  • binding: github-api
  • bound host: https://api.github.com

Verify the binding:

uxc auth binding match https://api.github.com/repos/holon-run/uxc

Optional Path: Manual bearer token

If gh is unavailable, configure a PAT manually:

uxc auth credential set github \
  --auth-type bearer \
  --secret-env GITHUB_TOKEN

uxc auth binding add \
  --id github-api \
  --host api.github.com \
  --path-prefix / \
  --scheme https \
  --credential github \
  --priority 100

Do not commit GitHub tokens or hardcode them in this skill or repository.

Core Workflow

  1. Use fixed link command by default:

    • command -v github-openapi-cli
    • If missing, create it: uxc link github-openapi-cli https://api.github.com --schema-url https://raw.githubusercontent.com/github/rest-api-description/main/descriptions/api.github.com/api.github.com.json
    • github-openapi-cli -h
  2. Inspect operation schema first:

    • github-openapi-cli get:/user -h
    • github-openapi-cli get:/repos/{owner}/{repo} -h
    • github-openapi-cli get:/repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues -h
  3. Execute reads before writes:

    • github-openapi-cli get:/user
    • github-openapi-cli get:/repos/{owner}/{repo} owner=holon-run repo=uxc
    • github-openapi-cli get:/repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues owner=holon-run repo=uxc state=open per_page=10
    • github-openapi-cli get:/repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls owner=holon-run repo=uxc state=open per_page=10

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.
