Skill instructions
GitHub Authentication Setup This skill sets up authentication so the agent can work with GitHub repositories, PRs, issues, and CI. It covers two paths: - git (always available) — uses HTTPS personal access tokens or SSH keys - gh CLI (if installed) — richer GitHub API access with a simpler auth flow Detection Flow When a user asks you to work with GitHub, run this check first: bash Check what's available git --version gh --version 2/dev/null || echo "gh not installed" Check if already authenticated gh auth status 2/dev/null || echo "gh not authenticated" git config --global credential.helper 2/dev/null || echo "no git credential helper" Decision tree: 1. If gh auth status shows authenticated → you're good, use gh for everything 2. If gh is installed but not authenticated → use "gh auth" method below 3. If gh is not installed → use "git-only" method below (no sudo needed) --- Method 1: Git-Only Authentication (No gh, No sudo) This works on any machine with git installed. No root access
