Safe remote GitHub operations via the gh CLI — account verification and switching, cloning, pushing, PR creation, reading/answering PR feedback, CI checks, and merging against the right account.
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
# GitHub Remote Skill ## Scope Apply this skill whenever a task requires accessing, cloning, pushing to, or creating pull requests against remote GitHub repositories using the `gh` CLI: - Identifying the correct GitHub account before any remote operation - Switching accounts with `gh auth switch` before acting - Cloning private repos, pushing branches, and creating PRs - Verifying authentication state before acting This skill does **not** cover local-only git operations (commits, branching, merging) — those require no account switching. ## The Target Account The account to use is defined in the project's `.constellation/config.json` under `github.account`. Referred to as `<account>` below. If the config is missing or empty, ask the user which account to use — never guess. --- ## Transport — HTTPS via gh, never SSH All GitHub operations go through the `gh` CLI, and all git remote operations (clone, push, pull, fetch) go over **HTTPS authenticated by gh's credential helper**. Never SSH. Why: the credential helper serves the credentials of the **currently active gh account**, so `gh auth switch` + HTTPS routes every operation to the account the project configured. …

How to install
mdr add jvoliveiran/constellation-harness/github-remote@sha256:97c35a2ae4299c0bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260704.65bdb0b, 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.
