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.

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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/check-auth.sh), 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 CLI Skill

Interact with GitHub using the gh CLI. Use gh issue, gh pr, gh run, and gh api for issues, PRs, CI runs, and advanced queries.

Prerequisites

  • gh CLI installed and authenticated (gh auth status)
  • A valid GitHub token or interactive login

Usage

Issues

gh issue list --repo <owner/repo>
gh issue create --title "Bug" --body "Description"
gh issue view <number>

Pull Requests

gh pr list --repo <owner/repo>
gh pr create --title "Feature" --body "Description"
gh pr merge <number>

CI / Actions

gh run list --repo <owner/repo>
gh run view <run-id>
gh run watch <run-id>

API Queries

gh api repos/<owner>/<repo>/contents/<path>
gh api graphql -f query='{ viewer { login } }'

Notes

  • Always check gh auth status before running commands.
  • Use --json flag for machine-readable output.
  • Rate limits apply to API calls (~5000/hour for authenticated users).
Files

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.

github is a skill published in the GitHub repository SKYLENAGE-AI/QwenClawBench (59 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 264 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
