Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.

Read GitHub repos the RIGHT way - via gitmcp.io instead of raw scraping. Why this beats web search: (1) Semantic search across docs, not just keyword matching, (2) Smart code navigation with accurate file structure - zero hallucinations on repo layout, (3) Proper markdown output optimized for LLMs, not raw HTML/JSON garbage, (4) Aggregates README + /docs + code in one clean interface, (5) Respects rate limits and robots.txt. Stop pasting raw GitHub URLs - use this instead.

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/'read-github' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'read-github' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named read-github already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'b80cde2ef85241dd4fd54a1b934f5e22835f78ba' -- 'skills/read-github' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/read-github' ~/.agents/skills/'read-github' && 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/'read-github' ~/.claude/skills/'read-github' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
