Readable github

Skill yamadashy/agent-readable/skills/readable-github

Reads GitHub via the gh CLI — repo metadata / README / file tree, issues with comments and timeline, pull requests (diff, files, inline comments, GraphQL review threads with isResolved / isOutdated), discussions (GraphQL), code (file contents and code search), and releases (with tarball / zipball fallback). Routes by URL shape into references/{topic}.md so only the relevant command sheet is loaded. Use when the URL is on github.com.From its SKILL.md

GitHub Reader

Uses the gh CLI (which calls the GitHub REST/GraphQL API) for everything. The CLI handles auth, pagination, and rate limiting; AUP exempts API access from its scraping clauses.

Prerequisite

gh auth status

If not logged in: gh auth login.

Pick the right reference

Identify what kind of GitHub URL the user supplied, then follow the matching reference file:

URL shape	Reference
`github.com/{owner}/{repo}` (root, README, file tree)	references/repo.md
`github.com/{owner}/{repo}/issues/...`	references/issues.md
`github.com/{owner}/{repo}/pull/...`	references/pulls.md
`github.com/{owner}/{repo}/discussions/...`	references/discussions.md
`github.com/{owner}/{repo}/blob/...`, `tree/...`, code search	references/code.md
`github.com/{owner}/{repo}/releases/...`	references/releases.md

For Gist URLs (gist.github.com/...), use the readable-gist skill instead.

General tips

Prefer gh subcommands (gh repo, gh issue, gh pr, ...) where they exist; fall back to gh api for endpoints they don't cover.
Use --json {fields} to keep responses small. Each subcommand documents its --json field set; run gh {sub} view --help to list them.
Rate limit: 5,000 req/hour for authenticated users. gh api rate_limit reports current usage.
