What problem does it solve?
Quickly obtain and inspect the raw contents of a GitHub gist when a user shares a gist URL or a bare gist ID, removing the need to navigate the web UI or manually download files.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Extracts gist ID and optional username from full URLs or bare IDs and retrieves the raw file contents for immediate viewing.
- Handles multi-file gists by listing filenames and presenting each file, and uses a fallback chain to maximize reliability (raw host, gh CLI, GitHub API).
- Use case: a reviewer pastes a gist link in chat and needs the exact source files and contents displayed for code review or analysis.
Quick Start
Use the read-gist skill with a gist URL or gist ID to fetch and display the raw content for inspection.
