About

The GitHub Search skill empowers Claude to perform complex queries across the GitHub ecosystem by leveraging the official GitHub CLI (gh). It allows developers to quickly locate code snippets, track down specific issues, monitor pull request statuses, and discover repositories without leaving the terminal environment. By integrating GitHub's advanced search syntax, the skill streamlines the discovery process, making it easier to reference existing codebases, audit security issues, or manage project contributions directly through AI-driven commands. It is an essential tool for developers managing large-scale projects or exploring open-source repositories.
