Githubbing
SkillSearchInstalls and authenticates the GitHub CLI (gh) in a Claude.ai container, then runs gh commands against it. Use for "install gh", "gh auth", "create an issue or PR from the CLI", "gh is not authenticated", or any GitHub operation you want to issue as a gh command rather than a raw API call. This skill is the transport rather than the analysis. To understand what a repository does or contains, use exploring-codebases; to add a repo to the session, accessing-github-repos.
