apd-github

apd-github is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from zstevovich/claude-apd. It costs 104 tokens per session (1,927 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Codex skill that connects an APD development workflow to GitHub Projects, a GitHub tool for tracking work on a board. It creates and updates issues as tasks move through the workflow.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create issues from approved specifications, move cards between work stages, and close issues after a commit.
Why use it?
It keeps the task board aligned with development progress, so issues do not need to be updated by hand.

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

apd-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 3d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 185 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

GitHub Projects — APD Pipeline Tracking (Codex)

Maps APD pipeline phases to GitHub Projects v2 columns. Each task becomes an issue with the spec-card.md content embedded, and pipeline progress is reflected on the board.

When to use / When to skip

Use when:

  • The project has a GitHub Projects v2 board configured (GITHUB_PROJECTS_URL in AGENTS.md)
  • A pipeline phase just transitioned — sync the column
  • Spec was just approved — create the issue
  • Pipeline just committed — close the issue with the commit reference

Skip when:

  • No GitHub Projects board is configured for the project
  • The repo is not on GitHub (Gitlab/Bitbucket/local)
  • gh CLI is not authenticated — escalate, don't silently skip
  • The user is in a hotfix flow that bypasses the pipeline (no issue to track)

Automation — gh-sync

Instead of calling gh directly, use the gh-sync wrapper which tracks the active issue across the pipeline:

bash ${APD_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/core/gh-sync spec "User login"
bash ${APD_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/core/gh-sync builder
bash ${APD_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/core/gh-sync reviewer
bash ${APD_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/core/gh-sync verifier
bash ${APD_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/core/gh-sync done 42 abc1234
bash ${APD_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/core/gh-sync skip 42 "Hotfix"
bash ${APD_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/core/gh-sync status

gh-sync automatically tracks the issue number for the current pipeline — you don't need to pass it at every step. On Codex, the wrapper is invoked through shell calls subject to guard-bash-scope.

Prerequisite

  • gh CLI authenticated (gh auth login)
  • GitHub Projects v2 created with columns: Spec, In Progress, Review, Testing, Done
  • GITHUB_PROJECTS_URL set in AGENTS.md

Pipeline → column mapping

APD step GitHub Projects column Action
apd:apd_advance_pipeline('spec', "Task") Spec Create issue with spec-card.md content, add to board
apd:apd_advance_pipeline('builder') In Progress Move issue to In Progress
apd:apd_advance_pipeline('reviewer') Review Move issue to Review
apd:apd_advance_pipeline('verifier') Testing Move issue to Testing
Commit (successful) Done Close issue, link commit, move to Done
apd:apd_advance_pipeline('skip', "<reason>") Done Close issue with apd-skip label

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.
