Detect Github Url

Detects when the user pastes or mentions a GitHub URL that may contain Claude skills or plugins. Triggers on messages containing github.com URLs, especially when user says things like "here's a repo", "check out this repo", "load this", "use these skills", "I found these skills", or simply pastes a github.com link. Make sure to use this skill whenever a GitHub URL appears in the user's message that might contain Claude Code skills or plugins.

Detect GitHub Skill Repository

The user has shared a GitHub URL. Recognize it and offer to browse its skills.

What to Do

  1. Identify the GitHub URL from the user's message.

  2. Respond naturally — acknowledge the link and explain you can browse available skills.

  3. Offer to browse:

    "I can check this repo for skills and show you what's available. Want me to take a look?"

  4. When the user confirms, run /skills-load <url>. This shows a numbered catalog — the user picks which skills to install as a plugin.

  5. If the URL doesn't look like a skills repo, still offer: "This might not contain Claude skills — want me to check anyway?"

Key Points

  • Be conversational, not robotic
  • The catalog-first approach means the user picks what they need — no bulk loading
  • Selected skills get packaged as a .plugin file and presented with a "Save plugin" button for one-click installation into the / menu
  • Skills are also injected into the conversation for immediate use
