gitlab

gitlab is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from odyssey4me/agent-skills. It costs 52 tokens per session (1,768 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for managing GitLab projects through the glab command-line tool. GitLab is a service for hosting code, reviewing changes, tracking issues, and running automated build checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to list or view issues and merge requests, check pipelines, manage repositories, and create, merge, close, or comment on GitLab work.
Why use it?
It provides the repository-specific commands and setup steps needed to inspect or change GitLab work safely.

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

gitlab 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/gitlab.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 263 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

GitLab Skill

This skill provides GitLab integration using the official glab CLI tool. A Python wrapper script produces markdown-formatted output for read/view operations. Action commands (create, merge, close, comment) should use glab directly.

Prerequisites

Install glab CLI: installation guide

Authentication

# Authenticate with GitLab
glab auth login

# Verify authentication
glab auth status

Supports GitLab.com, GitLab Dedicated, and GitLab Self-Managed instances. See GitLab CLI Authentication for details.

Script Usage

The wrapper script (scripts/gitlab.py) formats output as markdown. Use it for read/view operations to get agent-consumable output. Use glab directly for action commands (create, merge, close, comment). See permissions.md for read/write classification of each command.

# Check glab CLI is installed and authenticated
$SKILL_DIR/scripts/gitlab.py check

# Issues
$SKILL_DIR/scripts/gitlab.py issues list --repo GROUP/REPO
$SKILL_DIR/scripts/gitlab.py issues view 123 --repo GROUP/REPO

# Merge Requests
$SKILL_DIR/scripts/gitlab.py mrs list --repo GROUP/REPO
$SKILL_DIR/scripts/gitlab.py mrs view 456 --repo GROUP/REPO

# Pipelines
$SKILL_DIR/scripts/gitlab.py pipelines list --repo GROUP/REPO
$SKILL_DIR/scripts/gitlab.py pipelines view 123456 --repo GROUP/REPO

# Repositories
$SKILL_DIR/scripts/gitlab.py repos list
$SKILL_DIR/scripts/gitlab.py repos view GROUP/REPO

All commands support --limit N for list commands (default 30).

Commands (Direct glab Usage)

For action commands, use glab directly:

Issues

glab issue list                    # List issues
glab issue view 123                # View issue details
glab issue create                  # Create new issue
glab issue note 123                # Add comment
glab issue close 123               # Close issue
glab issue update 123 --label bug  # Edit issue

Files

What ships with it

3 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.
