Github Changes

GitHub Changes Skill

Fetches recent commits and code changes from a GitHub repository.

When to Use

Use this skill when you need to get:

• Yesterday's commits
• Files changed
• Lines added/removed
• Commit authors

How to Use

# Get yesterday's changes (default)
$CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR/skills/github-changes/scripts/get-changes.sh "owner/repo"

# Get changes for a specific date
$CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR/skills/github-changes/scripts/get-changes.sh "owner/repo" "2024-12-15"

Arguments

• owner/repo (required): The repository to query (e.g., "vm0-ai/vm0")
• date (optional): Specific date in YYYY-MM-DD format. Defaults to yesterday.

Prerequisites

• GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable must be set (for private repos and higher rate limits)
