Agent skill
1 skill

Fetches and displays source code from GitHub file and directory URLs using the gh CLI. Use when the user shares a github.com/owner/repo/blob/... or github.com/owner/repo/tree/... URL, a raw.githubusercontent.com URL, a GitHub Enterprise URL (e.g. github.mycompany.com/...), or explicitly asks to read, fetch, or show the contents of a file or directory on GitHub. Supports file contents, single-line anchors (L10), line ranges (L10-L25), directory listings, and shallow repository clones. Don't use for GitHub pull request URLs (/pull/), issue URLs (/issues/), commit URLs (/commit/), release URLs (/releases/), GitHub Actions workflow URLs (/actions/), Gist URLs (gist.github.com), or GitHub wiki URLs (/wiki/). Don't use when the user only wants to discuss, mention, or link to a GitHub project without requesting its file contents.
