github-repo-setup

github-repo-setup is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from neverinfamous/memory-journal-mcp. It costs 51 tokens per session (1,838 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A reusable setup for creating public TypeScript and Node.js repositories on GitHub, a service for hosting code. It generates community documents, development settings, labels, topics, and continuous integration files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating a new public repository for a TypeScript or Node.js project and preparing its license, README, contribution guidance, automated checks, labels, and topics.
Why use it?
It provides a repeatable starting structure for a new repository instead of requiring every standard file and setting to be created manually.

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 C, and why

github-repo-setup scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 4d 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.

Reaches for credential fileshighPrivilege escalation

SSH keys, cloud credentials, git-credentials, .npmrc, /etc/shadow: reading these is how a config file becomes a credential leak.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 137 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

GitHub Repository Setup

Scaffold a new public TypeScript/Node.js repo with community standards, CI, and strict tooling.

Prerequisites

  • Git CLI with SSH (~/.ssh/id_ed25519)
  • GitHub CLI (gh) authenticated as {{ORG_NAME}}
  • Node.js 24+
  • Default branch: main
  • Credentials: Load from a secure environment file (e.g., {{SECRETS_ENV_PATH}}) or OS credential stores. CRITICAL: NEVER hardcode this path in shared templates or commit .env files.

Parameters

Replace these placeholders throughout:

Placeholder Example
{{ORG_NAME}} neverinfamous
{{REPO_NAME}} my-mcp-server
{{DESCRIPTION}} MCP server for X
{{YEAR}} 2026
{{SECRETS_ENV_PATH}} C:\path\to\secrets.env

What ships with it

4 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.
