GitHub Helper

Overview

管理本地 GitHub 仓库目录，维护可检索知识库，并为仓库检索、克隆、Issue/PR 跟踪提供统一流程。

Local Repository Directory

Default path: /Users/liuchen/Documents/github

This path is referenced in the knowledge base file: @/Users/liuchen/Documents/github/CLAUDE.md

Core Workflows

1. Initialize or Update Knowledge Base

When first using this skill or when user requests an update:

1. Check if the github directory exists.
2. If not found, ask user for the correct path.
3. Scan the directory using scripts/scan_repos.py.
4. Update CLAUDE.md using scripts/update_kb.py.

Example:

# Scan repositories
python3 scripts/scan_repos.py /Users/liuchen/Documents/github

# Update knowledge base (pass repos as JSON)
python3 scripts/update_kb.py /Users/liuchen/Documents/github '[{"name":"repo1","path":"/path","summary":"desc"}]'

2. Search for Repository

When user mentions a repository name:

1. Check local first: Read @/Users/liuchen/Documents/github/CLAUDE.md.
2. If found locally: Use local path to analyze and answer.
3. If not found: Search GitHub using gh or GitHub MCP tools.
4. Offer to download: Ask user whether to clone.

3. Download Repository

When user requests to download/clone:

1. Clone to the github directory:

```bash

cd /Users/liuchen/Documents/github

git clone

```

1. After successful clone, update knowledge base:
• Run scripts/scan_repos.py to get repo info.
• Run scripts/update_kb.py to update CLAUDE.md.

4. GitHub Search Integration

Use gh CLI first, then fall back to GitHub MCP:

Search repositories

gh search repos <query> --limit 10

Search issues

gh issue list --repo <owner/repo> --state all --limit 20

Search PRs

gh pr list --repo <owner/repo> --state all --limit 20

Answering Repository Questions

1. Check whether repository exists in local knowledge base.
2. If local, prioritize local code inspection.
3. If information is insufficient, query GitHub issues/PRs/releases.

Directory Validation

If /Users/liuchen/Documents/github does not exist:

1. Ask user for the correct repository root path.
2. Update this SKILL.md path if needed.
3. Initialize knowledge base at the new location.

Scripts

• scan_repos.py: Scan local repositories and extract summaries.
• update_kb.py: Update CLAUDE.md with repository metadata.
