67 / 100 · Review before installing

Check before installing. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.

By oaustegard/claude-skills (GitHub) · coding · 158 stars · scanned at commit 487272b

Installs and authenticates the GitHub CLI (gh) in a Claude.ai container, then runs gh commands against it. Use for "install gh", "gh auth", "create an issue or PR from the CLI", "gh is not authenticated", or any GitHub operation you want to issue as a gh command rather than a raw API call. This skill is the transport rather than the analysis. To understand what a repository does or contains, use exploring-codebases; to add a repo to the session, accessing-github-repos.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'githubbing' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'githubbing' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named githubbing already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/oaustegard/claude-skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '487272b6d1d9a2c5248d9adfa2d7765f8ca2b6af' -- 'githubbing' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'githubbing' ~/.agents/skills/'githubbing' && 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/'githubbing' ~/.claude/skills/'githubbing' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
