GitHub Auth

Use this skill when GitHub operations fail because identity, token, or repository access is unclear.

Preferred Flow

1. Check the active identity first with the available GitHub connector or gh auth status.
2. Confirm whether the issue is missing auth, wrong account, or missing repo permission.
3. Re-run the smallest failing GitHub action after auth is fixed.

Guardrails

• Never print secrets or copy tokens back into chat.
• Report whether the blocker is account, scope, installation, or repo permission.
