Orchestra: Skill for Codex

.codex/skills/maestro-github/SKILL.md

maestro-github is a skill for Codex from Traves-Theberge/Orchestra. It costs 31 tokens per session (546 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A GitHub task guide for Maestro, an agent that manages work journeys, issues, and pull requests while keeping each project and repository correctly matched.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect GitHub issues and pull requests, verify repository identity and permissions, and check that a pull request matches the task's stored link.
Why use it?
It prevents tasks from being linked to the wrong GitHub repository or pull request, and makes access and historical links explicit.

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

maestro-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 19d 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 for Maestro

Read maestro-integrations for the shared journey and orchestra-cli for executable task controls. Resolve exact owner/repo from registered project metadata or a verified Git remote; Maestro's control directory is not a repository. Match PR base repository to that identity before linking it to a task.

When gh is available, reuse its existing signed-in account. Verify an authenticated repository read before claiming access. Use explicit scope from the control directory:

gh repo view OWNER/REPO --json nameWithOwner,url,viewerPermission
gh issue list --repo OWNER/REPO --json number,url,title,assignees,state
gh pr list --repo OWNER/REPO --json number,url,title,state,headRefName,baseRefName
gh pr view NUMBER --repo OWNER/REPO --json number,url,state,headRefOid,headRefName,baseRefName,reviewDecision,statusCheckRollup

These commands read GitHub; they do not attach a PR to an Orchestra task. Preserve the task's persisted pr_url, and verify the remote PR repository/head/status separately. An empty open-PR list does not prove no historical PR is linked. Inspect explicit linked PRs even when closed or merged.

For issue-backed tasks, select an actual GitHub issue source connection; local SQLite tasks remain local even when their project has a GitHub remote. Use advertised source-scoped create/assign controls and receipts. GitHub issue numbers collide between repositories; a GitHub assignee is a login, while an Orchestra worker/harness is a separate identity. Do not infer execution from assignment or treat GitHub open/closed as the complete Kanban lifecycle.

GitHub's add-assignee endpoint is additive and may silently ignore users without permission. When the shared adapter supports assignment, confirm the requested login in the returned issue and preserve concurrent assignees; do not claim atomic remote compare-and-set. A timed-out external mutation remains uncertain and must not be replayed with a new UUID.

For authorized repository/PR actions, inspect installed CLI help and use the user's requested scope. Do not change credentials or permissions to resolve an error. UI review discussions, checks, and the reviewed head are distinct evidence; report any missing observation.

Primary API reference: GitHub issue assignees. Native GitHub CLI access does not prove that another harness or the backend tracker uses the same credential.

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.
