github-stale-ci-pr-closer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from OpenHands/extensions. It costs 21 tokens per session (259 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A scheduled GitHub automation that tracks open, non-draft pull requests with failing required CI checks. It warns after seven days, then closes a request seven days later only if the checks still fail and the author has not responded.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it across configured repositories to read applicable branch rules, post marked warnings, and close qualifying stale pull requests.
Why use it?
It keeps stale, blocked pull requests from remaining open indefinitely while preserving requests that recover or receive author activity.

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-stale-ci-pr-closer 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 22d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/worker.py, tests/test_worker.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.

What it actually says

GitHub stale CI pull request closer

This deterministic scheduled automation scans every open, non-draft pull request in its configured repositories. It reads the required status checks from the GitHub rules that apply to the pull request's base branch.

  • After required CI remains failing for seven days, it posts one marked warning.
  • After seven more days, it closes the pull request only when required CI still fails and the author has neither pushed nor commented since the warning.
  • Passing or pending CI, a draft conversion, closure, merge, or author follow-up cancels the pending close. Continued failure starts a fresh warning window.

The automation creates no agent or conversation. Configure a repository-scoped fine-grained PAT with Metadata: Read, Actions: Read, Commit statuses: Read, Issues: Read and Write, and Pull requests: Read and Write. The token also needs read access to repository rules. Package scripts/worker.py as worker.py and the shared skills/github/scripts/github_client.py as github_client.py.

Files

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.

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.
