Create GitHub fine-grained personal access tokens from a declarative JSON spec by browser automation. Use when you need to mint, verify, or revoke a fine-grained PAT (release tokens, read-only auditors, CI status reporters, account-scoped tokens) — there is NO GitHub API for this, the web UI is the only path. Handles the no-expiration modal, repo picker, and permission grids that break naive automation.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# gh-fine-grained-pat — declarative fine-grained PAT forge

GitHub exposes **no API** to _create_ fine-grained PATs ([community #148626](https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/148626)) — the web UI is the only way. This skill drives that UI over the Chrome DevTools Protocol from a declarative JSON spec, so token creation is repeatable, reviewable, and anti-fragile instead of a hand-clicked one-off.

> **Self-Evolving Skill**: This skill improves through use. GitHub's settings UI drifts — if a selector misses, the modal/picker/permission flow changed, or a permission's detail-page noun is wrong, fix `scripts/`, `CLAUDE.md` (selector map + noun map), or the spec **immediately**; don't defer. Only update for real, reproducible breakage.

## When to use

- Mint a scoped token (release bot, CI reporter, read-only auditor, account-scoped) for storage in the SCS `vault`.
- Re-create / rotate a token from a checked-in spec.
- List, verify (read back settings), or revoke fine-grained tokens.

## Prerequisites

- `node` (NOT bun — Bun's `connectOverCDP` times out) and `playwright-core` (already pinned at the repo root `package.json`).
- Google Chrome at the standard macOS path.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add terrylica/cc-skills/gh-fine-grained-pat@sha256:9a0f5124862f0880

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261022.04eff2b, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
