Does this skill require the GitHub CLI to be installed?

Yes, it leverages the 'gh' command-line tool to fetch real-time repository data, metadata, and labels directly from GitHub.

How does it handle label management?

Instead of assuming labels exist, it fetches the actual list of labels available in the current repository and allows the user to select from valid options.

Why should I use repo-config instead of hardcoding branch names?

Hardcoding leads to command failures when moving between projects that use different standards (like 'main' vs 'master'). This skill ensures your automation is portable and works in any repository.

Can it detect my project's specific commit style?

Yes, it includes logic to analyze recent git logs to identify whether the project follows Conventional Commits or other specific patterns.

Collaboration Tools

Automates the detection of GitHub repository settings, branches, and labels to ensure portable and dynamic CLI workflows.

About

The repo-config skill enables Claude to interact intelligently with any GitHub repository by dynamically discovering its environment rather than relying on hardcoded assumptions. It automatically identifies the default branch, fetches current repository labels, analyzes branch naming patterns, and detects commit conventions. This ensures that GitHub CLI commands for creating pull requests, managing issues, or commenting on APIs work seamlessly across different projects, regardless of specific project-level configurations or naming schemes.

Key Features

Live label fetching to prevent hardcoded categorization errors
Pattern analysis for branch naming and commit conventions
0 GitHub stars
Seamless integration with GitHub CLI (gh) and Git history
Automated repository metadata retrieval for API calls
Dynamic default branch detection (main, master, or develop)

Use Cases

Maintaining consistent branch naming conventions based on existing project history
Automating PR creation to the correct default branch across multiple distinct projects
Dynamically applying repository-specific labels to new issues without manual lookup
