Guides & tutorials for AI skills
GitHub extends your AI assistant with the ability to gitHub API integration with managed OAuth. Access repositories, issues, pull requests, commits, branches, and users. Use this skill when users want to interact with GitHub repositories, manage issues and PRs, search code, or automate workflows. For other third party apps, use the api-gateway skill (https://clawhub.ai/byungkyu/api-gateway). Rather than leaving your conversation to handle this manually, you can ask your Claude agent directly β and it will take care of the task end-to-end, using GitHub as its underlying capability.
GitHub works across Claude, Cursor, OpenClaw through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) β an open standard that lets AI clients share tools and skills without lock-in. Because MCP is platform-agnostic by design, you install GitHub once and it becomes available across all your AI clients. Whether you're working in Claude for focused sessions or Cursor for integrated workflows, the skill behaves consistently.
Getting started with GitHub takes about two minutes. Place the skill at `~/.claude/skills/github-api/` (personal, all projects) or `.claude/skills/github-api/` (project-specific), then restart your AI client. From that point, typing `/github-api` in any conversation activates it, or the AI will use it on its own when it detects a relevant request.
With 14,358 installs, GitHub has built a substantial following in the Developer & DevOps space. That install count reflects consistent demand from developers and teams who've found it genuinely useful. The source code is open on GitHub β you can inspect it, contribute fixes, or fork it to adapt the skill for your specific setup. Like all skills on DiscoverAISkills, it is free to install and use. The broader AI skills ecosystem continues to expand as developers contribute new capabilities across categories like developer tools, data analysis, writing, automation, and more.
Place the skill folder at ~/.claude/skills/github-api/ for personal use (all projects), or .claude/skills/github-api/ for project-specific use. Restart your AI client, then invoke with /github-api or let the AI discover it automatically.
GitHub supports Claude, Cursor, OpenClaw. It integrates seamlessly with these AI platforms to extend their capabilities.
GitHub is free to install. Check the repository for licensing information.
