Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00096 | $0.01079 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00038 | $0.00432 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00019 | $0.00216 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00108 |
Grade A, and why
apex-github-operations 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 17d 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 — 87 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
GitHub Operations
Use this skill for Git and GitHub contribution work in the VS Code Copilot SDK harness.
Invoke /apex-github-operations with the operation and scope, or request it in natural language.
Prerequisites
- Use the active caller's authorized tools and operator/runtime-selected model. This skill does not select an agent/model, grant permissions, or require model attestation.
- Require
gitfor local operations andghfor GitHub operations; verify the repository, branch, remote and requested scope before writes. Local commits do not require GitHub authentication. - Use existing CLI credentials. Do not run
gh authunless explicitly asked to troubleshoot authentication. Never print tokens, request secrets through chat, or switch identity implicitly. - If required tools, scope or authorization are missing, stop and report the blocker.
The interactive parent owns
ask_user; a delegated worker returnsUSER_INPUT_REQUIRED.
Operation And Authorization
Identify the requested operation before loading its reference. These are separate actions, not an automatic contribution pipeline:
| Request | Authorized scope |
|---|---|
| Review, status, search or explain | Read-only; no staging, commit or remote writes |
| Commit | Stage only approved files/hunks and create a local commit |
| Push | Publish the approved branch and reviewed outgoing commits to the approved remote |
| Create/update a PR or issue | Only the requested repository and fields |
| Merge or enable auto-merge | Separate explicit authorization for that PR and method |
| Run/cancel Actions, release or change repository settings | Explicit authorization for that operation and target |
A user may explicitly authorize several actions together; record each action's scope. A commit request alone never authorizes push, PR creation or merge. Skill invocation, successful checks, deployment success and an existing PR do not supply authorization. Decline does not approve; cancellation stops. Never infer approval from silence.
What ships with it
5 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.
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.

apex-github-operations is a skill published in the GitHub repository jonathan-vella/apex-accelerator (50 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 96 tokens to every session and 1,079 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-23.
