DEPRECATED - Use building-github-index instead. Superseded per-file GitHub API implementation of progressive disclosure repository indexes.
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
# Building GitHub Index (v2 — DEPRECATED) **⚠️ DEPRECATED: Use the `building-github-index` skill instead.** Despite the "-v2" directory name, this is the *older* implementation. It fetches the repo tree and then every file individually through `api.github.com`, which is slow and burns per-file rate limit. `building-github-index` supersedes it with a single-request tarball download that processes files locally. This directory is retained only so existing references resolve. It receives no further updates. --- ## Legacy Documentation Create markdown indexes of GitHub repositories optimized for Claude project knowledge. Indexes enable retrieval via GitHub API with semantic descriptions for effective matching. ## Quick Start ```bash # Documentation repos (markdown/notebooks) python scripts/github_index.py owner/repo -o index.md # Code repos (extract symbols via tree-sitter) python scripts/github_index.py owner/repo --code-symbols -o index.md # Multiple repos combined python scripts/github_index.py owner/repo1 owner/repo2 -o combined.md ``` ## Script Options | Flag | Description | |------|-------------| | `-o, --output` | Output file (default: `github_index.md`) | …

How to install
mdr add oaustegard/claude-skills/building-github-index-v2@sha256:be020db5dd862fc5The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.0.2, 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.
