github

A tool guide for searching GitHub repositories, issues, and pull requests through its API. GitHub is a website where developers host source code and collaborate on changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find repositories by language or popularity, inspect issues, review pull requests, and access private repositories when suitable credentials are available.
Why use it?
It gives a defined way to find GitHub information without treating general web searches or basic Git questions as the same task. It also explains the difference between public and authenticated access.

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.

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

Per session 61 Skills are progressive disclosure: only the name and description are preloaded; the body loads when the skill is used.
When invoked 312 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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 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 2d 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.

What it actually says

GitHub

Interact with GitHub using the REST API.

Use when

  • Repositories ("Find Kotlin repos", "My repos")
  • Issues ("Open issues on X")
  • Pull requests

Don't use when

  • General web search (use research)
  • Git concepts without GitHub context
  • Non-GitHub code hosting

Authentication

For private repos, check memory for GITHUB_TOKEN. Public repos work without token (lower rate limit).

API Endpoints

Search repos (no auth)

web_fetch({
  url: "https://api.github.com/search/repositories?q=language:kotlin+stars:>1000"
})

With auth

web_fetch({
  url: "https://api.github.com/user/repos",
  headers: {
    "Authorization": "Bearer {TOKEN}",
    "Accept": "application/vnd.github+json"
  }
})

Rate Limits

  • Unauthenticated: 60 req/hour
  • Authenticated: 5,000 req/hour
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.
