gutt-claude-code-plugin: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/github-workflow/SKILL.md

github-workflow is a skill for Claude Code from iBrain-BVBA/gutt-claude-code-plugin. It costs 116 tokens per session (1,655 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill that sets rules for working with GitHub repositories. It requires code changes to go through feature branches, pull requests, and Copilot review before merging.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating branches, committing changes, opening pull requests, requesting Copilot review, and checking whether GitHub MCP or the gh command-line tool is available.
Why use it?
It creates a consistent review checkpoint and helps prevent unreviewed changes from reaching the default branch.

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-workflow 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 120 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

GitHub Workflow

Announce: "Following gutt GitHub workflow..."

The Rule

All code changes go through PRs with Copilot review. This is the quality gate — Copilot reviews every PR and does one last iteration before the code lands.

Committing to feature branches is fine and expected. What's not allowed is pushing directly to the default branch or merging without Copilot review.

Which toolchain — check, don't assume

Two paths exist and most sessions have only one of them. Establish which before you plan the delivery, not after you've announced a sequence you can't run:

  • GitHub MCP (mcp__github__*) — present in Cowork and in sessions with the GitHub MCP server connected. Probe with ToolSearch; do not assume it from the fact that this skill names those tools.
  • gh CLI + local git — the path in a normal Claude Code terminal session, where mcp__github__* tools are typically absent. Verify once with gh auth status.

The rules below are toolchain-independent. Tool names are given for both.

What You Can and Can't Do

Go ahead:

  • Create branches (mcp__github__create_branch / git checkout -b)
  • Commit to feature branches (mcp__github__push_files, mcp__github__create_or_update_file / git commit + git push -u origin <branch>)
  • Create PRs (mcp__github__create_pull_request / gh pr create --base <base> --head <branch>)
  • Request Copilot review (mcp__github__request_copilot_review / see the gh recipe below)
  • Read anything — files, commits, diffs, PRs, issues
  • Search code, issues, PRs
  • Create/update issues
  • Update PR metadata

Always ask the user first:

  • Merging PRs (mcp__github__merge_pull_request) — the user or Copilot workflow handles this

Never do:

  • Push directly to main
  • Merge without Copilot having reviewed

Standard Workflow

When delivering code to GitHub, follow this sequence:

  1. Pick the base branch deliberately — see below. It is not automatically the default branch.
  2. Create a feature branch from that base
  3. Push your code to the feature branch
  4. Create a PR against the same base, with a clear title referencing any Jira ticket, and a body describing what changed and why
  5. Request Copilot review immediately after PR creation
  6. Stop — let Copilot review and the user decide when to merge

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.
