A set of helpers for GitHub and Git, the tools commonly used to store code, manage issues, review changes, and work with remote repositories.

Use it to list, create, close, assign, and filter issues; manage project boards; sync tasks; create pull requests; check or retrigger tests; bump versions; and push changes.

It removes the need to remember separate command-line steps for common repository and project tasks. It also uses the existing GitHub login when available.

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.

Any agent

npx skills add TonyCasey/lisa --skill github

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00065	$0.03834
Opus 5.5	$0.00026	$0.01534
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00013	$0.00767
Haiku 4.5	$0.00006	$0.00383

Measured 1mo ago against content hash 75df06516520, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-10-07, from the pricing page.

Security

Grade A, and why

github scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 1mo 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 534 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Purpose

Model-neutral helper for GitHub and Git workflows including Issues, Projects v2, PR management, CI triggers, and version bumping. Uses the gh CLI.

Triggers

Use when the user says:

"create a github issue", "create issue", "new issue"
"list github issues", "show issues", "open issues"
"close issue", "reopen issue", "assign issue"
"github project", "project board", "kanban"
"add to project", "update project field", "move to column"
"sync tasks with github", "import github issues", "export tasks to github"
"create a pr", "check pr status", "retrigger tests", "toggle test label", "pr checks", "bump version", "push to remote"

Configuration

Uses existing gh CLI authentication. Verify with:

gh auth status

Alternatively, set GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable for CI/headless environments.

What ships with it

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.
