What problem does it solve?

GitHub API integrations often struggle with large data sets due to pagination, rate limits, and concurrency constraints. This skill provides patterns and references for using @octokit/rest v21 to perform robust, scalable API calls in Node.js/TypeScript, including authentication, pagination, and error handling.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Authoritative reference for @octokit/rest v21 covering pagination, rate limits, and concurrency control.
  • Practical patterns for building data-fetching scripts, dashboards, and CI jobs that rely on GitHub endpoints (repos, issues, milestones).
  • Guidance on constructing resilient requests with iterator/paginate, and on using throttling/retry plugins.

Quick Start

Create an Octokit instance with authentication and demonstrate a paginated fetch with proper rate-limit handling.
