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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00042 | $0.01543 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00017 | $0.00617 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00309 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00154 |
Grade A, and why
github scanned grade A 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 12d 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.
Use authenticated GitHub MCP tools first when they are available in the agent's environment. Detect this by tool availability, without depending on a particular MCP server name. Use the token and direct API instructions How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 135 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Connection selection
Use authenticated GitHub MCP tools first when they are available in the agent's environment. Detect this by tool availability, without depending on a particular MCP server name. Use the token and direct API instructions below only when GitHub MCP tools are unavailable or when raw API or curl access is explicitly needed.
You have access to an environment variable, GITHUB_TOKEN, which allows you to interact with
the GitHub API.
Windows PowerShell equivalents for the multi-line shell snippets below are in references/windows.md.
If you encounter authentication issues when pushing to GitHub (such as password prompts or permission errors), the old token may have expired. In such case, update the remote URL to include the current token: git remote set-url origin https://${GITHUB_TOKEN}@github.com/username/repo.git
Here are some instructions for pushing, but ONLY do this if the user asks you to:
- NEVER push directly to the
mainormasterbranch - Git config (username and email) is pre-set. Do not modify.
- You may already be on a branch starting with
openhands-workspace. Create a new branch with a better name before pushing. - Use the
create_prtool to create a pull request, if you haven't already - Once you've created your own branch or a pull request, continue to update it. Do NOT create a new one unless you are explicitly asked to. Update the PR title and description as necessary, but don't change the branch name.
- Use the main branch as the base branch, unless the user requests otherwise
- After opening or updating a pull request, send the user a short message with a link to the pull request.
- Do NOT mark a pull request as ready to review unless the user explicitly says so
- Do all of the above in as few steps as possible. E.g. you could push changes with one step by running the following bash commands:
git remote -v && git branch # to find the current org, repo and branch
git checkout -b create-widget && git add . && git commit -m "Create widget" && git push -u origin create-widget
What ships with it
7 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.
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 is a skill published in the GitHub repository OpenHands/extensions (167 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 42 tokens to every session and 1,543 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
