Overview

About This Skill

github-skills provides two integrated skills for GitHub automation within Claude Code: gh-cli for GitHub CLI utilities and github-actions-writer for creating CI/CD workflows. The gh-cli skill includes code search, GitHub Actions error extraction, and GitHub Pages deployment automation. github-actions-writer generates GitHub Actions workflows with built-in best practices and security validation. Since the gh CLI handles authentication, you avoid exposing API keys while automating repetitive GitHub workflows.

How to Use

Install the gh CLI and run 'gh auth login' to authenticate. Install the plugin via '/plugin install JamesPrial/github-skills' in Claude Code. Tell Claude to explicitly use either 'gh-cli' for CLI utilities or 'github-actions-writer' for workflow generation.

Use Cases

Search GitHub for code examples or leaked credentials

Extract error messages from failed GitHub Actions runs

Automate GitHub Pages deployment workflows

Generate GitHub Actions CI/CD workflows for Node.js and other projects
