Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/cyrusagents/cyrus --skill cyrus-setup-gitlab- 01
Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
- 02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads cyrus-setup-gitlab automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.
SKILL.md
The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.
CRITICAL: Never use Read, Edit, or Write tools on ~/.cyrus/.env or any file inside ~/.cyrus/. Use only Bash commands (grep, printf >>, etc.) to interact with env files — secrets must never be read into the conversation context.
Setup GitLab
Configures GitLab CLI and git so Cyrus can create branches, commits, and merge requests.
Step 1: Check Existing Configuration
Check if glab is already authenticated:
glab auth status 2>&1
If authenticated, check git config:
git config --global user.name
git config --global user.email
If both glab auth and git config are set, inform the user:
GitLab is already configured. Skipping this step.
Skip to completion.
Step 2: Authenticate GitLab CLI
If glab is not authenticated:
glab auth login
This opens an interactive browser flow. Let the user complete it.
For self-hosted GitLab instances, the user can specify the hostname:
glab auth login --hostname gitlab.example.com
After completion, verify:
glab auth status
Step 3: Configure Git Identity
If git user name or email are not set, ask the user for their preferred values:
What name should appear on commits made by Cyrus? (e.g., your name, or "Cyrus Bot")
What email should appear on commits? (e.g., your email, or a noreply address)
Then set them:
git config --global user.name "<name>"
git config --global user.email "<email>"
Step 4: Verify
glab auth status
git config --global user.name
git config --global user.email
Completion
✓ GitLab CLI authenticated ✓ Git identity configured:
<name><
