Overview

What This Skill Does

The GitHub skill gives your agent full repository management capabilities through natural conversation. Create and manage repositories, branches, and pull requests. Review code diffs and post review comments. Create, assign, and close issues. Search code across repos. Monitor CI/CD workflow runs. Manage releases and tags. The skill uses GitHub's API with scoped personal access tokens. For security, we recommend creating separate tokens for experimentation vs production, scoping tokens to specific organizations and repositories, and never granting admin-level repository access.

Example workflow

Your agent monitors open PRs every morning, summarizes code changes, flags PRs that have been open for more than 3 days without review, and posts a team summary to Slack.
