GitHub Skill

Use this skill to operate GitHub.com and GitHub Enterprise Server repositories, branches, pull requests, reviews, and commits through the packaged launcher and local CLI runtime.

Within Orbit's shared provider framework, this skill is one implementation of the repo capability.

Runtime and execution

Always run the packaged launcher through ${GITHUB_SKILL_DIR} so it works from the user's current working directory:

macOS/Linux: ${GITHUB_SKILL_DIR}/bin/github
Windows: ${GITHUB_SKILL_DIR}\bin\github.cmd

${GITHUB_SKILL_DIR} is a documentation placeholder, not a guaranteed shell environment variable. Resolve BIN to a real launcher path once before the first CLI call. Do not call node app/dist/cli.js directly.

Scope and boundaries

Supports GitHub.com and GHES.
CLI-mediated operations only.
Do not call GitHub REST endpoints directly from skill content.

Config check

Run github config get when configuration state is unknown or before the first provider-scoped task in a new session.

Quick reference

Task	Command
Version diagnostics	`BIN version`
Runtime diagnostics	`BIN doctor`
Store config	`BIN config set --base-url <URL> --token <TOKEN>`
Read config metadata	`BIN config get`
List org repos	`BIN repo list --namespace <owner>`
Get repository	`BIN repo get --namespace <owner> --repo <name>`
Read file content	`BIN repo content --namespace <owner> --repo <name> --path <path> [--at <ref>]`
List pull requests	`BIN pr list --namespace <owner> --repo <name>`
Get pull request	`BIN pr get --namespace <owner> --repo <name> --number <id>`

BIN means the resolved launcher path in the current session.
