SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires requests.

What problem does it solve?

Remote development via GitHub API. Ko can continuously develop features without a local clone by orchestrating GitHub operations from tasks sourced in Linear, reducing context switching and setup overhead.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Remote development: write code, create branches, batch commit, and open PRs entirely through GitHub.
  • Linear integration: pull tasks from Linear and implement them remotely, while Ko works on other things locally.
  • Branch orchestration: automatically create branches, stage changes, and push PRs without a local clone, enabling parallel feature work.

Quick Start

Start a remote development session from a Linear task and begin implementing the task entirely through GitHub.

FAQPage Schema
How do I develop features remotely using the GitHub API without cloning a repository?▼

Remote development via GitHub API enables you to write code, create branches, batch commit, and open PRs entirely without a local clone. It orchestrates GitHub operations directly, reducing context switching and setup overhead for continuous feature development.

Can I pull tasks from Linear and automatically implement them through GitHub?▼

Yes, Linear integration pulls tasks and implements them remotely via GitHub. The workflow automatically creates branches, stages changes, opens PRs, and synchronizes task status, enabling parallel feature work while you focus on other local tasks.

What is the best way to automate branch orchestration and PR creation for remote development?▼

Automating branch orchestration via GitHub API and gh CLI provides a deterministic, remote-first workflow. It automatically creates branches, commits batched code changes, and pushes PRs without local cloning, streamlining parallel feature implementation.

Does remote development via GitHub API require a local clone to synchronize task status?▼

No, remote development via GitHub API does not require a local clone to synchronize task status. It leverages gh CLI for PRs and REST endpoints for file updates, automatically syncing task status directly after implementation.

Do I need the requests library to run GitHub API operations for code writing and PR automation?▼

Yes, the requests library is required. It serves as the underlying dependency to interact with GitHub REST endpoints for file updates and PR automation, enabling the deterministic, remote-first development workflow without cloning repositories.
