Can I use this for private repositories?

Does it actually approve the PR for me?

No, it provides a recommendation and review summary; you must still perform the final approval or request changes via the GitHub UI or CLI.

Does this skill require a GitHub account?

Yes, you must have the GitHub MCP server installed and authenticated via OAuth to access your repositories.

What parts of the PR are analyzed?

The skill analyzes the PR metadata, full commit history, file-level diffs, and the status of GitHub Actions workflows.
