Create embeddable GitHub profile and repository card images with the ghcard CLI, design custom card layouts, and add them to README files. Use when the user wants a GitHub stats card, a profile card, a repo card or banner, a social preview image for a repository, or to put such a card in a README or profile README (github.com/<user>/<user>). Also covers listing, deleting, and checking quota for GitHubCard cards.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# GitHubCard cards with `ghcard`

`ghcard` turns a GitHub username or `owner/repo` into a published card image
with stable SVG/PNG links and ready-made Markdown/HTML embeds. Card images
show live GitHub data, so a card never needs regenerating to stay current.

## Before you start

1. Check the CLI is installed: `ghcard --version` (this skill is written for
   0.1.0 or later). If it is missing and Node.js 20+ is available, run it
   through npx without installing: replace `ghcard` with `npx -y @ghcardhq/ghcard` in
   every command below. Suggest `npm install -g @ghcardhq/ghcard` to the user if they
   will use it again; do not install global packages without asking.
2. Check auth: `ghcard auth status --json`.
   - Exit code 3 / `NO_API_KEY` or `UNAUTHORIZED`: the user needs a key from
     https://githubcard.com/dashboard. Ask them to run
     `ghcard auth login` themselves, or to set `GHCARD_API_KEY`.
     Never ask the user to paste the key into the chat, and never echo,
     log, or write a key into a file in the repository.
   - Listing templates/palettes works without a key.

Always pass `--json` and read stdout as one JSON document:
`{"ok": true, "data": ...}` or
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add ghcardhq/skills/githubcard@sha256:565fc6d507ff7bd4

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261031.60097ee, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
