What problem does it solve?

Many users need an assistant that can browse, query, and make changes in GitHub but cannot or should not expose raw API details or perform manual CLI configuration. This Skill removes the friction of connecting Claude Code to a GitHub account, guiding non-technical users through a short conversational setup and then performing authenticated repository, issue, PR, and CI work on their behalf.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Conversational one-time setup (Phase 1): Walks the user step-by-step to create a GitHub access key and quietly configures Claude Code's MCP server without exposing technical jargon or credential values.
• Tool-driven operations (Phase 2): After verification, calls mcp__github__* tools to search repositories and code, read and push files, list and manage issues and pull requests, trigger or inspect Actions runs, and list notifications.
• Robust error handling and safety: Clear plain-English guidance for auth failures, permission issues, rate limits, and double-confirmation rules for destructive or write actions.
• Use case: Connect your account, ask the assistant to list open issues in owner/repo, review a pull request diff, or open an issue describing a bug.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to connect your GitHub and then say "show my repositories".
