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 28 Sept 2026

This skill failed 1 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.

Declares what it does: failed
No SKILL.md was found in the skill's directory.
SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.
No undeclared network calls: passed
Makes no network calls.
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.
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 credential access: passed
Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.
Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.
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 github/awesome-copilot at 6c4d33b9cf.
The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill enables an AI agent to create a contribution to a GitHub repository, such as submitting a pull request or adding new code. It automates tasks like writing commit messages, generating diffs, and interacting with version control systems.

When to use it

You need to submit a bug fix or feature enhancement to an open-source project.
You want to automate the process of contributing code without manually handling Git commands.
Your AI agent is tasked with maintaining or improving a repository on GitHub.

Key capabilities

Automates pull request creation
Generates proper commit messages
Handles version control interactions

Example prompts

"Create a pull request for the main branch of the awesome-project repo with my code changes."
"Generate a diff and submit it as a contribution to the feature/new-ui branch."
"Write a commit message and push my changes to the upstream repository."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your AI agent has access to the correct GitHub credentials or token for authentication.
This skill assumes you have already cloned the repository locally or have access to its files.
