Can I use this skill to create new GitLab issues?

Yes, the skill supports POST requests via the glab api, allowing you to create issues, merge requests, and other resources by passing field flags.

Is the output compatible with other command-line tools?

Yes, by using the --output ndjson flag, the skill provides newline-delimited JSON which is ideal for streaming and processing with tools like jq.

How does this skill identify the current GitLab project?

The skill uses dynamic placeholders like :fullpath and :id which automatically resolve to the current project's path and ID based on your local git context.

Does it support GitLab's GraphQL API?

Absolutely. You can execute GraphQL queries, pass variables, and handle complex pagination through the built-in graphql command support.

What are the requirements for using this skill?

This skill requires the GitLab CLI (glab) to be installed and authenticated on your system for Claude to execute the API commands.

Collaboration Tools

Provides seamless access to GitLab REST and GraphQL APIs using the glab CLI for project automation and data retrieval.

About

This skill empowers Claude to interact directly with GitLab instances through the glab CLI, enabling programmatic management of repositories, issues, and merge requests. By utilizing intelligent placeholders for project paths, IDs, and branches, Claude can execute complex REST and GraphQL queries without requiring manual endpoint configuration. It is particularly useful for developers looking to automate CI/CD workflows, perform bulk updates to project metadata, or extract specific repository insights directly within their coding environment.

Key Features

Unified access to GitLab REST and GraphQL endpoints via glab api
Support for paginated REST requests to handle large data sets
Dynamic placeholder resolution for :fullpath, :id, :branch, and :user
GraphQL query execution with variable support and pagination handling
Configurable output formats including pretty-printed JSON and NDJSON
5 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Automating the creation and management of GitLab issues and merge requests
Streaming large volumes of repository data for analysis using jq integration
Fetching project-specific metadata and user information for context-aware coding
