In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to set up or update the standard labels for a repository, using the repository named in the command or the current folder.

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

configure-labels 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 22d 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.

Configure Repository Labels

Sets up the standard label taxonomy in a GitHub repository so that downstream skills (triage-issues, label-issue, prioritize-issues) can classify and manage issues consistently. Creates missing labels, updates descriptions and colors for existing labels that do not match the convention, and removes conflicts with GitHub defaults. Idempotent: safe to re-run on a repository that already has some or all labels configured.

Prerequisites

  • Apply the shared SDLC conventions in skills/sdlc/references/shared.md.
  • If no argument is provided, operate on $REPO.
  • gh CLI authenticated with write access to the target repository
  • Repository in owner/repo format ($1), or omit to use the repository in the current working directory

Standard Label Taxonomy

The label set is organized into dimensional namespaces. Every SDLC-managed repository should have labels from the dimensions that are relevant to its domain.

Type Labels

Name Color Description
bug d73a4a Something isn't working
feature 0075ca New feature or request
question d876e3 Further information is requested
chore fef2c0 Maintenance, refactoring, or dependency updates
documentation 0075ca Improvements or additions to documentation
security b60205 Vulnerability or security concern

Area Labels

Area labels use the area: prefix. Do not create the full catalog blindly. Instead, derive the project's areas from its structure and context files (see "Area Discovery" below).

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.
