SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you quickly detect a repository's Git remote URL and determine whether it points to GitHub, which is useful when workflows need repository ownership details for integrations or automation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Remote URL Detection: Reads the configured origin remote from the local Git repository.
  • GitHub Verification: Safely checks whether the remote actually points to github.com before reporting it as GitHub.
  • Graceful Fallbacks: Returns an empty result with a warning when Git is unavailable, the directory is not a repository, or no remote is configured.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to identify the current repository's Git remote URL and tell you whether it is a GitHub repository.

FAQPage Schema
How do I detect a Git remote URL and check if it points to GitHub?▼

To detect a Git remote URL, the Skill reads the configured origin remote from your local repository and verifies whether it points to github.com. It then extracts the owner and repository name for GitHub-backed workflows.

What is the best way to extract the owner and repository name from a Git origin remote?▼

Extracting the owner and repository name from a Git origin remote is done by parsing the configured HTTPS or SSH URL. The Skill safely identifies GitHub repositories and isolates ownership details for automation or integrations.

Can I use this with SSH GitHub remote formats or does it only support HTTPS?▼

You can use this with both SSH and HTTPS GitHub remote formats. The Skill supports standard GitHub URL structures to correctly detect repository identity and verify GitHub status for your local Git worktree.

Do I need a valid Git worktree to find the GitHub remote URL?▼

You need a valid Git worktree with an origin remote configured to find the GitHub remote URL. The Skill requires a local repository to read from and will return an empty result with a warning if Git is unavailable.

Why does repository detection return an empty result when Git is unavailable?▼

Repository detection returns an empty result with a warning when Git is unavailable as a graceful fallback. This also occurs if the directory is not a repository or no origin remote is configured, preventing automation failures.
