SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill detects the configured Git remote URL for a repository so automation and integrations can identify the repository owner and name without manual lookup, and it degrades gracefully when Git or a remote is unavailable.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Remote detection: Reads the configured origin remote URL from a local Git repository.
  • Parsing and validation: Extracts repository owner and name from common HTTPS and SSH GitHub URL formats and verifies whether the remote points to github.com.
  • Safe fallback: Returns an empty result instead of failing when Git is not present, the directory is not a repository, or no remote is configured; suitable for CI checks, issue linking, and automated metadata collection.

Quick Start

Use the speckit-git-remote skill to detect the repository owner and name and determine whether the origin remote points to GitHub.
