What we know about this skill

Publisher

github

Matched to the vendor's own GitHub organisation.

Install target

Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

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 github/awesome-copilot at 6c4d33b9cf.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

The github-issues skill allows AI agents to interact with GitHub Issues, enabling actions such as creating, updating, and retrieving issues from repositories. It provides a way to automate issue management workflows by integrating directly with the GitHub API.

When to use it

  • Automating repetitive tasks like logging bugs or feature requests in a repository.
  • Creating custom workflows that trigger based on specific issue events (e.g., new comments or label changes).
  • Generating reports or summaries of open issues for team meetings or project updates.
  • Integrating GitHub Issues with other tools or platforms for unified project management.

Key capabilities

  • Create and manage GitHub Issues programmatically.
  • Retrieve details about existing issues, including their status, labels, and comments.
  • Update issue metadata such as titles, descriptions, and assignees.
  • Trigger actions based on events like new issue creation or comment addition.

Example prompts

  • "Create a new GitHub Issue in the main branch of the my-project repository with title 'Login button not working' and label 'bug'."
  • "List all open issues in the awesome-copilot repository that are labeled 'feature request'."
  • "Update issue #123 to add a new comment: 'Please provide more details about this bug.'"

Tips & gotchas

  • Ensure your AI agent has proper GitHub API access tokens with the required permissions.
  • Be mindful of rate limits imposed by the GitHub API when making frequent requests.
