dot-gitlab-sync

A template-based issue-writing tool for GitHub and GitLab, which are services used to track bugs, feature requests, and other development work. It creates issues that follow the repository's required format.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to draft bug reports, feature requests, technical-debt tasks, and other GitHub issues or GitLab issues.
Why use it?
It prevents incomplete or inconsistently formatted issue reports. Repository templates provide the expected sections and project-specific conventions.

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

dot-gitlab-sync 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-GitLab Template Sync

Synchronize .github/ and .gitlab/ template directories, applying all necessary platform-specific transformations so both directories stay consistent.

Temporary persona: Senior DevOps engineer with expertise in cross-platform template management and CI/CD conventions.

When to Use This Skill

  • After editing issue or PR templates in .github/ and needing .gitlab/ updated
  • After editing issue or MR templates in .gitlab/ and needing .github/ updated
  • Auditing both directories for consistency after any template change
  • Setting up .gitlab/ templates for the first time from existing .github/ templates

Asset Resolution

  1. Check ./assets/transformation-rules.md for the platform transformation reference
  2. If not found, search **/transformation-rules.md in repository
  3. If still not found, use the rules documented in this skill's Process section

Process

Step 1: Determine Sync Direction

Ask the user:

  • Source: Which directory was just edited? (.github/ or .gitlab/)
  • Target: Which directory needs updating?
  • If unclear, compare file modification timestamps to suggest a direction

Step 2: Inventory Templates

List templates in both directories:

  • .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/ vs .gitlab/issue_templates/
  • .github/pull_request_template.md vs .gitlab/merge_request_templates/merge_request_template.md
  • .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/config.yml (GitHub-only, no GitLab equivalent)

Report any templates that exist in source but not in target (new templates to create) or vice versa (orphaned templates to flag).

Step 3: Apply Transformations

For each template, apply the platform-specific transformations from the asset reference:

GitHub to GitLab:

  • Remove YAML frontmatter (name, about, title, labels fields)
  • Replace "PR" with "MR" and "pull request" with "merge request" in template body
  • Replace "issue/PR number" with "issue/MR number" in Related sections
  • Copy to GitLab directory structure (lowercase issue_templates/, merge_request_templates/)
  • Skip config.yml (no GitLab equivalent)

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.
