Set up GitHub authentication for the agent using git (universally available) or the gh CLI. Covers HTTPS tokens, SSH keys, credential helpers, and gh auth — with a detection flow to pick the right method automatically.
Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.
if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'github-auth' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'github-auth' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named github-auth already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/vamseeachanta/workspace-hub' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '429cf5614d2df694419d304b26beb8a7e8a03e87' -- '.agents/skills/github/github-auth' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'.agents/skills/github/github-auth' ~/.agents/skills/'github-auth' && 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/'github-auth' ~/.claude/skills/'github-auth' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
