github-linking

github-linking is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Oortonaut/task-graph-mcp. It costs 30 tokens per session (1,912 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A process for linking GitHub issues and pull requests to tasks in a task graph. GitHub is an external record of reported work and code changes; the task graph is an internal coordination system.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to attach GitHub issues and pull requests to task-graph tasks and maintain two-way traceability between them.
Why use it?
It keeps the external GitHub record and internal work tracking connected, making it possible to follow a task from report through implementation.

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-linking 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 2mo 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 ↔ Task Graph Linking

Conventions and processes for maintaining bidirectional traceability between GitHub issues/PRs and task-graph tasks.

Prerequisite: Understand task-graph-basics for tool reference.


Overview

Key idea: GitHub is the external record of truth. Task-graph is the internal coordination layer. Attachments bridge them.


Configuration

The project config (task-graph/config.yaml) defines these integration primitives:

Attachment Types

Type MIME Mode Purpose
github/issue application/json replace Link to a GitHub issue
github/pr application/json replace Link to a GitHub PR
github/comment text/plain append Notable comments from GitHub

Dependency Type

Type Display Blocks Purpose
tracks horizontal none Informational cross-reference to an external item

Tags

Tag Category Purpose
github integration Mark a task as linked to GitHub
bug type Mirror GitHub "bug" label
enhancement type Mirror GitHub "enhancement" label

When a GitHub issue exists and you want to track work in task-graph:

# 1. Create the task
create(
    title="Fix list_tasks ID truncation",
    description="list_tasks truncates petname IDs to 8 chars in markdown output, making them unusable",
    tags=["github", "bug"]
)
→ task_id (e.g. "brave-fox")

# 2. Attach the GitHub issue reference
attach(
    agent=worker_id,
    task="brave-fox",
    type="github/issue",
    content='{"repo": "Oortonaut/task-graph-mcp", "number": 1, "url": "https://github.com/Oortonaut/task-graph-mcp/issues/1"}'
)

# 3. (Optional) Add a comment on the GitHub issue pointing back
#    gh issue comment 1 --body "Tracked in task-graph: brave-fox"

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-linking is a skill published in the GitHub repository Oortonaut/task-graph-mcp (2 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 30 tokens to every session and 1,912 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-31.
