Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a security skill usually runs scanners and checks websites.
Use when the user wants to connect to GitHub, search or read issues / PRs / code, create or update issues and PRs, inspect Actions runs, or review Dependabot / code-scanning alerts. The connector — not security tradecraft.
What this skill can do
Runs commands on your computer
Install
Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.
if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'github' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'github' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named github already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/dreadnode/capabilities' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '3ceeb34c0c33dc36738cf0d4ec86e38b53d98216' -- 'capabilities/github/skills/github' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'capabilities/github/skills/github' ~/.agents/skills/'github' && rm -rf "$d"; fi
Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'github' ~/.claude/skills/'github' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
