github

github is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from initializ/forge. It costs 11 tokens per session (189 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A set of tools and workflows for working with GitHub repositories and Git, the system that records code changes. It supports repository cloning, code exploration, edits, commits, branches, pushes, issues, and pull requests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect a repository, make code changes, create commits, push a branch, open pull requests, and manage issues.
Why use it?
It keeps repository work in a defined sequence and makes changes reviewable before they are shared. It also prevents using the wrong method for GitHub-specific operations.

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 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 today.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 13 executable files (scripts/github-branch-name-from-ticket.sh, scripts/github-checkout.sh, scripts/github-clone.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.

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.
