Automated safety checks
This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.
Declares what it does: passed
SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.
SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.
No undeclared network calls: passed
Makes no network calls.
Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.
No obfuscated payloads: passed
No encoded or obfuscated payloads.
No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.
No credential access: passed
Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.
Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.
No pipe-to-shell installers: passed
No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.
No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.
Pinned to a commit: passed
Scanned proompteng/lab at 6a37928f5a.
The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill
What it does
This skill enables AI agents to interact directly with GitHub Issues, allowing them to create new tickets, update existing statuses, and comment on threads. It bridges the gap between code analysis and project management workflows within the repository ecosystem.
When to use it
- Automatically generating bug reports when an agent detects errors in a codebase during testing.
- Tracking feature requests by creating structured issues with specific labels and priority levels.
- Resolving stale tickets by updating their status to "Closed" once fixes are merged into the main branch.
- Providing context to developers by adding detailed comments linking related PRs or documentation changes.
Key capabilities
- Create new GitHub Issues with custom titles, descriptions, and labels.
- Update existing Issue statuses (e.g., Open, Closed, In Progress).
- Add comments to specific issues to facilitate team discussion.
- Link external resources such as pull requests or documentation within issue bodies.
Example prompts
- "Create a high-priority issue for the login failure bug we just fixed in PR #42."
- "Update Issue #15 to 'Closed' and add a comment linking to the merged commit."
- "Generate a new feature request issue for dark mode support based on user feedback from last week."
Tips & gotchas
Ensure your AI agent has proper write permissions to the target GitHub repository before attempting to create or modify issues. Be mindful of rate limits if automating high volumes of ticket creation, as excessive API calls may temporarily block access.
