github-conventions is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Jartan-LLC/grimoire. It costs 28 tokens per session (507 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules for working with GitHub, including branch names, commit messages, issue and pull-request templates, and comment references.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps create branches, format commits, use issue templates, reference issues and pull requests, and handle missing credentials safely.
Why use it?
It keeps project changes and discussions consistent and avoids unsafe changes to authentication settings.

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-conventions 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 3d 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.

What it actually says

GitHub Conventions

CRITICAL: #<number> auto-links to issues/PRs on GitHub. Use 1./2./3. for numbered lists and "Finding 1:"/"Item 1:" for labeled items -- never #1, #2, #3 as markers.

Authentication

Never reconfigure auth transport to unblock a command. Don't switch the remote between SSH and HTTPS, add a credential helper, or push to an explicit URL. A missing key or token scope is a missing credential, not a transport problem -- only the user can supply it, and working around it changes config they never asked you to touch, often globally. Stop and ask.

Branches

Feature branches: feature/<description> or feature/issue-<number> Always check if a branch already exists for an issue before creating a new one.

For sub-issues of a larger feature, branch from the parent feature branch rather than main. Sub-issue work merges back into the parent feature branch, which eventually merges to main.

Commits

Conventional commits format: <type>: description

Types: feat:, fix:, docs:, style:, refactor:, test:, chore: Optional scope: feat(frontend): description

Issues

Templates in .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/ -- read them for section structure.

  • Bug reports: must have label bug
  • Feature requests: must have label enhancement

Pull Requests

PR template at .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md -- read it for section structure. Use Closes #<number> to link PRs to issues.

Code Reviews

Reviews are posted as PR comments. See review-format.md for the recommended structure -- severity buckets and the #N footgun to avoid in the summary.

Implementation Plans

Plans are posted as issue comments and saved to .claude/workspace/. See plan-format.md for the recommended structure.

Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
