Where are repositories stored using this skill?

Repositories are organized hierarchically by organization and repository name under the ~/code/github.com/ path to maintain a clean local workspace.

What does the organizing-github skill do?

It is a specialized capability for Claude Code that enforces a standard local directory structure for GitHub repositories and manages how forks and clones are handled.

How does this skill handle project forks?

It automatically directs all open-source forks to a specific user directory and uses the GitHub CLI to pull code and discover related forks during investigation.

Is the GitHub CLI required for this skill?

Yes, the skill utilizes the 'gh' command to pull code and investigate repositories, so having the GitHub CLI installed is necessary for full functionality.

Can Claude create pull requests with this skill enabled?

No, the skill specifically instructs Claude not to author pull requests for open-source projects, ensuring the user remains the primary author while Claude provides helpful summaries.
