github-commander

A set of guided workflows for working with GitHub, a service for hosting code and coordinating changes. It covers issues, pull requests, milestones, dependency updates, and code audits.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to triage and fix GitHub issues, review or submit pull requests, work through milestones, update dependencies, and run security or code-quality audits.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents a consistent process and records what they tried, what passed, and what failed. Human checkpoints help you approve important steps before they continue.

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.

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-commander 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 145 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

GitHub Commander

Structured, configurable workflows that teach AI agents to triage GitHub issues, review PRs, and sprint through milestones. Every action is journaled for full audit trails, and human-in-the-loop checkpoints keep you in control.

The reason every step journals its results is that it creates a searchable audit trail — future sessions can find exactly what was tried, what passed, and what failed, without the human needing to remember or repeat context.

When to Load

Load this skill when any of these apply:

  • You are assigned or asked to fix a GitHub issue
  • You need to review or submit a pull request
  • You need to work through issues in a milestone
  • You want to run dependency updates, security audits, or code quality audits
  • The user mentions an issue number (e.g., "fix #42") or PR number
  • The user says "triage", "audit", "review", "update deps", or similar
  • You are about to push code and want a structured validation pipeline

Quick Reference

Workflow File Purpose
Issue Triage workflows/issue-triage.md Fix a single GitHub issue end-to-end
PR Review workflows/pr-review.md Review a PR with validation pipeline
Milestone Sprint workflows/milestone-sprint.md Work through milestone issues sequentially
Roadmap Kickoff workflows/roadmap-kickoff.md Translate planning epics into Kanban issues
Update Dependencies workflows/update-deps.md Dependency update with audit trail

Prerequisites

  • gh CLI authenticated (gh auth status)
  • GITHUB_TOKEN set for API access
  • PROJECT_REGISTRY configured for repo auto-detection
  • Project repo cloned locally

Configuration

All commands are configurable via environment variables. Defaults assume a Node.js project. Override for other ecosystems (Python, Rust, Go, etc.).

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-commander is a skill published in the GitHub repository neverinfamous/memory-journal-mcp (20 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 131 tokens to every session and 1,668 once invoked, about $0.0007 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.
