github-manager

A guide for managing GitHub repositories—the online service used to host code and collaborate on changes—with controlled automation and release practices.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure CI and GitHub Actions, investigate Actions costs, manage issues and labels, set branch protection, and plan releases and tags.
Why use it?
It helps prevent unnecessary CI runs and spending, unclear issue tracking, inconsistent labels, and unprotected main branches. CI means automated checks that run on code changes.

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-manager 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 2d 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.

GitHub Manager

CI validates what cannot be cheaply verified locally. It is not a remote test runner for every commit.

This skill enforces disciplined, cost-aware GitHub operations. It turns GitHub from a free-for-all into a governed delivery surface: selective automation, traceable issues, consistent labels, and protected mainlines.

When to use

  • Setting up or revising a repository's CI/CD workflow
  • Investigating unexpected GitHub Actions spend
  • Creating or triaging issues and defining acceptance criteria
  • Designing a label taxonomy or branch-protection policy
  • Preparing a release process or tag strategy

Operating model context

This skill governs the GitHub surfaces that enforce the harness contract at the repository level. It is not general DevOps housekeeping — each procedure below maps to a harness invariant:

  • Branch protection + required status checks are the enforcement mechanism for the PR review gate and the exact-candidate binding rule. A CI check that passes on an unprotected branch is a claim; a passing check required by branch rules is evidence.
  • CI receipts are delivery evidence. "It worked locally" is not an artefact. A CI run tied to a commit SHA is. Structure your workflow so evidence is machine-readable and SHA-bound, not dependent on a contributor's local environment.
  • Modifying branch protection, CI pipelines, or billing settings is an R2 action. These changes affect all contributors and shared infrastructure. Classify risk, confirm authority, and record the decision before any write.

Use release-readiness to gate a specific deployment. Use this skill to configure and audit the repository surfaces that make those gates trustworthy.

Procedure

1. Rightsize CI triggers

  • Push to default branches should run lightweight gates only (lint, typecheck, unit tests).
  • Pull requests and version tags run the full pipeline, including packaging and cross-platform smoke tests.
  • Feature branches do not fire CI on every push; open a PR when ready for validation.
  • Path filters skip irrelevant jobs: docs-only changes should not rebuild the extension, code-only changes should not re-render documentation.

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.

github-manager is a skill published in the GitHub repository jpantsjoha/ai-native-developer-experience (11 stars, last pushed 25d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 1,261 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
