Can this skill monitor GitHub Actions status?

Yes, it uses the GitHub CLI to monitor workflow runs and can watch specific PR checks until they are completed.

Does Claude push directly to the main branch?

No, the skill includes strict safety protocols to never push directly to the main or master branches, opting for feature branches and pull requests instead.

How is authentication handled for GitHub operations?

The skill utilizes a GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable and can automatically update git remote URLs if authentication issues occur during a push.

Does it require a browser to open pull requests?

No, it is designed to use the GitHub API and CLI tools to manage pull requests and repository resources entirely through the terminal interface.
