glab-runner-controller

glab-runner-controller is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from vince-winkintel/gitlab-cli-skills. It costs 64 tokens per session (1,635 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An experimental, administrator-only tool for managing GitLab runner controllers and their authentication tokens. Runner controllers coordinate GitLab Runners, which execute automated project jobs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create, inspect, update, disable, delete, and scope runner controllers, and to generate, rotate, or revoke their tokens.
Why use it?
It centralizes controller lifecycle, scope, and token management, including rotating or revoking tokens.

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

glab-runner-controller 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 4d 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.

glab-runner-controller

Manage GitLab runner controllers and their authentication tokens.

⚠️ Experimental Feature

Status: EXPERIMENTAL (Admin-only)

What It Does

Runner controllers manage the orchestration of GitLab Runners in your infrastructure. This skill provides commands to:

  • Create and configure runner controllers
  • Inspect controller details and connection status
  • Manage controller lifecycle (list, get, update, delete)
  • Manage controller scopes (instance-level or runner-level)
  • Generate and rotate authentication tokens
  • Revoke compromised tokens

Common Workflows

Create Runner Controller

# Create with default settings
glab runner-controller create

# Create with description
glab runner-controller create --description "Production runners"

# Create enabled controller
glab runner-controller create --description "Prod" --state enabled

States:

  • disabled - Controller exists but inactive
  • enabled - Controller is active (default)
  • dry_run - Test mode (no actual runner execution)

List and View Controllers

# List all controllers
glab runner-controller list

# List with pagination
glab runner-controller list --page 2 --per-page 50

# Output as JSON
glab runner-controller list --output json

# Get one controller with status details
glab runner-controller get 42

glab runner-controller get 42 --output json

Update Controller

# Update description
glab runner-controller update 42 --description "Updated name"

# Change state
glab runner-controller update 42 --state disabled

# Update both
glab runner-controller update 42 --description "Prod" --state enabled

Delete Controller

# Delete with confirmation prompt
glab runner-controller delete 42

# Delete without confirmation
glab runner-controller delete 42 --force

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.
