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 failed 1 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • No undeclared network calls: failed

    Contacts 2 hosts that are neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: cli.github.com, hooks.slack.com.

    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.

  • 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 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 odyssey4me/agent-skills at dfc71687b5.

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

About this skill

The GitHub skill enables AI agents to interact directly with repositories, allowing them to read code, search issues, and manage pull requests autonomously. It bridges the gap between natural language commands and Git operations without requiring manual API key configuration for every task.

When to use it

  • Automating routine repository maintenance tasks like updating changelogs or closing stale issues.
  • Retrieving specific code snippets or documentation from a public repository during research.
  • Generating and submitting pull requests with automated test results or code analysis.
  • Searching through open issues to find existing bug reports before creating new tickets.

Key capabilities

  • Direct interaction with GitHub repositories via the official API.
  • Execution of Git commands such as cloning, branching, and committing.
  • Creation, viewing, and management of pull requests and issues.
  • Reading and parsing code files within a repository context.

Example prompts

  • "Search for open issues in this repository related to authentication errors."
  • "Create a new branch named 'fix-login-bug' and commit the changes I just made."
  • "Generate a pull request that adds documentation for the new API endpoints."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your AI agent has appropriate read/write permissions on the target repositories, as access levels dictate which actions can be performed. This skill relies on network connectivity to the GitHub API, so rate limits may apply during high-volume operations.
