Install target

Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill failed 2 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • No undeclared network calls: failed

    Contacts 1 host that is neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: cli.github.com.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned hairyf/skills at 8a84374860.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to interact directly with GitHub via the command-line interface, allowing for automated repository management and code operations. It bridges the gap between natural language requests and low-level Git commands within a backend workflow context.

When to use it

  • Automating routine repository tasks like cloning, branching, or pushing code changes without manual intervention.
  • Integrating GitHub workflows into backend CI/CD pipelines managed by AI agents.
  • Executing specific Git commands dynamically based on project requirements detected during analysis.
  • Managing remote repositories programmatically to streamline collaboration and version control processes.

Key capabilities

  • Direct execution of GitHub CLI commands from within an agent environment.
  • Facilitation of backend automation tasks involving source code repositories.
  • Support for standard Git operations through a unified command-line interface.

Example prompts

  • "Clone the latest version of our main project repository and create a new feature branch."
  • "Push the current changes to the remote origin and open a pull request for review."
  • "List all active repositories under my organization and check their last commit status."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your AI agent has valid authentication credentials configured before attempting to execute repository operations. This skill is strictly backend-oriented; it does not provide a graphical user interface or web-based interaction capabilities.
