cli-gh

cli-gh is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from PaulRBerg/agent-skills. It costs 47 tokens per session (1,403 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for using GitHub's command-line tool to inspect and manage repositories. GitHub is a service for hosting code, tracking changes, and running automated workflows.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect repositories, search code, check workflow runs, manage releases and settings, work with codespaces, and automate GitHub tasks that do not create contribution content.
Why use it?
It provides a consistent way to perform read-only repository tasks and other explicitly requested automation from a terminal. It also separates inspection work from writing comments or contributions.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • medium Excessive Agency · line 28
    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

cli-gh 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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 116 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

GitHub CLI

This skill is coordination-exempt: skip the ai-coord gate for its declared work.

Routing

Use yeet to author or update a pull request, issue, issue comment, or discussion. yeet owns semantic analysis, repository templates, Paul's writing voice, idempotency, and direct posting. Route repository renames through repo-rename so GitHub and local continuity change together.

Authority

  • Read and inspect without confirmation.
  • Execute reversible or ordinary GitHub writes only when the user explicitly requested that outcome.
  • Never delete repositories, releases/assets, workflow runs/caches, secrets/variables, keys, codespaces, extensions, or gists.
  • Label deletion is the sole destructive exception: show the target repo, exact labels, commands, and issue/PR impact, then require approval in a subsequent message before gh label delete ... --yes.

Workflow

  1. Resolve the repository explicitly when cwd is ambiguous. Let the first required read-only command validate authentication. Run gh auth status only for auth diagnosis.

  2. Use installed gh <command> <subcommand> --help to resolve flags, JSON fields, and command behavior. CLI JSON field names can differ from API fields. Prefer --json with --jq for structured output.

  3. Preview broad writes with the repository, exact targets, commands, and issue/PR impact. An already requested ordinary write does not require a second approval.

GitHub Status

GitHub incidents produce symptoms that look like a local defect. Examples: a run stays queued for minutes with no runner, gh run cancel reports a run as completed while gh run view still shows it queued, the API returns 5xx errors, or a push succeeds while Actions does not start.

Before you tell the user that an error, a stall, or an inconsistent result comes from their setup, workflow, or credentials, check GitHub's status page:

curl -fsS https://www.githubstatus.com/api/v2/summary.json | jq '{status: .status.description,
  incidents: [.incidents[] | {name, status, impact, updated_at}],
  degraded: [.components[] | select(.status != "operational") | {name, status}]}'

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.
