# Githubbing

Install and use GitHub CLI (`gh`) for authenticated GitHub operations.

## 1. Install

```bash
bash /path/to/githubbing/scripts/install-gh.sh
```

## 2. Configure Authentication

`gh` reads tokens from `GH_TOKEN` or `GITHUB_TOKEN` environment variables.

```python
from configuring import get_env
import os

token = get_env("GH_TOKEN") or get_env("GITHUB_TOKEN")
if token:
    os.environ["GH_TOKEN"] = token
```

## 3. Verify

```bash
gh auth status
```

SkillDescription
accessing-github-reposGitHub repository access in containerized environments using REST API and credential detection. Use when git clone fails, or when accessing private repos/writing files via API.
api-credentialsSecurely manages API credentials for multiple providers (Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, GitHub). Use when skills need to access stored API keys for external service invocations.
asking-questionsGuidance for asking clarifying questions when user requests are ambiguous, have multiple valid approaches, or require critical decisions. Use when implementation choices exist that could significantly affect outcomes.
browsing-blueskyBrowse Bluesky content via API and firehose - search posts, fetch user activity, sample trending topics, read feeds and lists, analyze and categorize accounts. Supports authenticated access for personalized feeds. Use for Bluesky research, user monitoring, trend analysis, feed reading, firehose sampling, account categorization.
building-github-indexGenerate progressive disclosure indexes for GitHub repositories to use as Claude project knowledge. Use when setting up projects referencing external documentation, creating searchable indexes of technical blogs or knowledge bases, combining multiple repos into one index, or when user mentions "index", "github repo", "project knowledge", or "documentation reference".
categorizing-bsky-accountsAnalyze and categorize Bluesky accounts by topic using keyword extraction. Use when users mention Bluesky account analysis, following/follower lists, topic discovery, account curation, or network analysis.
chartingSelect the right Python charting library (seaborn, matplotlib, graphviz) and produce publication-quality static visualizations. Use when creating charts, plots, graphs, diagrams, heatmaps, visualizations from data, or when choosing between matplotlib/seaborn/graphviz. Also triggers for network diagrams, flowcharts, dependency trees, state machines, and entity-relationship diagrams. For interactive browser-rendered charts or uploaded data exploration, defer to charting-vega-lite instead.
charting-vega-liteCreate interactive data visualizations using Vega-Lite declarative JSON grammar. Supports 20+ chart types (bar, line, scatter, histogram, boxplot, grouped/stacked variations, etc.) via templates and programmatic builders. Use when users upload data for charting, request specific chart types, or mention visualizations. Produces portable JSON specs with inline data islands that work in Claude artifacts and can be adapted for production.
check-toolsValidates development tool installations across Python, Node.js, Java, Go, Rust, C/C++, Git, and system utilities. Use when verifying environments or troubleshooting dependencies.
cloning-projectExports project instructions and knowledge files from the current Claude project. Use when users want to clone, copy, backup, or export a project's configuration and files.
