Skill instructions
Context Many developers use GitHub through an Enterprise Managed User (EMU) account at work while maintaining a personal GitHub account for open-source contributions. AI agents spawned by Squad inherit the shell's default gh authentication — which is usually the EMU account. This causes failures when agents try to push to personal repos, create PRs on forks, or interact with resources outside the enterprise org. This skill teaches agents how to detect the active identity, switch contexts safely, and avoid mixing credentials across operations. Patterns Detect Current Identity Before any GitHub operation, check which account is active: bash gh auth status Look for: - Logged in to github.com as USERNAME — the active account - Token scopes: ... — what permissions are available - Multiple accounts will show separate entries Extract a Specific Account's Token When you need to operate as a specific user (not the default): bash Get the personal account token (by username) gh auth token --user
