Skill instructions
GitHub Repository Search and Exploration This skill enables agents to discover, clone, and explore external GitHub repositories when implementing features that may benefit from reference implementations in open-source projects. When to Use This Skill Use this skill when you need to: - Find reference implementations for features you're building - Explore how other projects implement similar patterns - Search for code examples across GitHub - Clone external repos for local exploration and learning - Find libraries or tools that could inform your implementation Do NOT use this skill when: - The task is straightforward and doesn't need external references - The codebase already has established patterns to follow - You're working on proprietary code that shouldn't reference external sources --- Resource Directory All external GitHub repositories MUST be stored in: .agentcache/resources/ This is the centralized location for all cloned external repositories. Always check here first before sea
