github-project-setup

A setup guide for a GitHub Project, GitHub’s shared work board, covering either one repository or several repositories. It defines consistent statuses, fields, labels, issue templates, and ways to organize work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a project board for features, bugs, and technical debt, with milestones for a single repository or initiatives for cross-repository work. It can also add issue templates and a roadmap file.
Why use it?
It removes the need to design a project board and tracking system from scratch. It also keeps work organized consistently when one project spans multiple repositories.

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-project-setup 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/migrate_doc.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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 663 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/github-project-setup — Bootstrap a GitHub Project for a repo or multi-repo platform

The goal: a single project board that holds all in-flight work (features, bugs, tech-debt) with consistent custom fields so you can group, filter, and prioritise across types. The skill handles two project shapes:

  • Single-repo — one Project tracks one repo. GitHub milestones for releases. Tier/Area/Priority/Effort/Mode custom fields.
  • Multi-repo — one Project tracks several repos under the same org (typical for platforms with split frontend/backend/infra/runtime repos). Initiative custom field replaces Tier as the strategic axis; built-in Repository column added to default views; per-repo milestones de-emphasized in favor of cross-repo Initiatives.

Step 1 detects which case applies and the rest of the flow branches accordingly.

This skill proposes and waits for confirmation before creating issues or fields. Names are project-specific — never auto-generate without a check.


Step 0 — Working tree check

This skill writes files (issue templates, roadmap.md). Before any changes, give the user a clean baseline to git diff against if something goes wrong:

git status --short

If the output is non-empty, halt and report:

Uncommitted changes in <N> files:

<git status --short output, truncated to 10 lines if longer>

This skill writes new and modified files. If anything goes wrong you'll want a clean baseline. Commit/stash first, or continue anyway?

Wait for explicit "continue" before proceeding. Don't proceed silently.

If git status --short errors (not a git repo), warn the user and ask whether to proceed without a revert baseline. Recommend git init first.


Step 1 — Preflight

Verify gh auth and scope:

gh auth status 2>&1 | grep -i scope

If project is missing from token scopes, ask the user to run:

gh auth refresh -s project

project covers both read and write. Without it, every gh project call will 403.

Files

What ships with it

4 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.
