depot-github-runners

depot-github-runners is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from PostHog/posthog-foss. It costs 152 tokens per session (2,733 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A setup guide for Depot-managed runners, which are temporary computers that execute GitHub Actions workflows. It replaces GitHub-hosted runners by changing the workflow's runner label.

In plain words
What is it for?
Connect a GitHub organization, select runner sizes and operating systems, configure workflow labels, and troubleshoot runner visibility.
Why use it?
It helps teams move workflow jobs to Depot while keeping the rest of their GitHub Actions configuration unchanged.

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

depot-github-runners 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 today.

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

Depot GitHub Actions Runners

Depot provides managed, ephemeral, single-tenant GitHub Actions runners. Drop-in replacement for GitHub-hosted runners — change the runs-on label and everything else stays the same.

Requirement: Repository must be owned by a GitHub organization (not a personal account).

Depot runners are not Depot CI

Depot runners keep GitHub Actions as the engine, so the workflow lives in .github/workflows/ and the checks still come from the github-actions app. Depot CI is a different product: it reads .depot/workflows/, which GitHub Actions ignores, and posts its own check runs from the depot-code-access app. Use the depot-ci skill for that one.

Its references/posthog-check-run-semantics.md compares what each engine reports for a skipped, empty-matrix or continue-on-error job, and how GitHub and the Trunk merge queue score those conclusions.

Setup

  1. Depot dashboard → GitHub Actions → Connect to GitHub → Install Depot GitHub App
  2. For public repos: GitHub org settings → Actions → Runner groups → Default → "Allow public repositories"
  3. Update runs-on in your workflow files

Org Context Check for Multi-Org Users

If a user belongs to multiple organizations and expected repos/settings/runners are not visible, verify Depot org context first:

depot org show              # Current org ID
depot org list              # Orgs the user belongs to
depot org switch <org-id>   # Optional: set default org

For commands that support it, pass --org <org-id> to target the org where the workflow/repo lives.

Runner Labels

Use a single label. Format: depot-{os}-{version}[-{arch}][-{size}]

What ships with it

1 file 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.
