About

Read and search GitHub repo documentation via gitmcp.io MCP service

Read Github is a codex skill — a focused instruction set the agent loads when you need specialized coding help. Skills are lighter than full plugins and install with the --skill flag.

Source package path: am-will/codex-skills/skills/read-github on GitHub (am-will/codex-skills).

Key features

  • Specialized agent instructions for coding tasks
  • Lighter than a full plugin — focused playbook the agent loads on demand
  • Install with the --skill flag via npx
  • Ideal when you want Read Github expertise without a full integration

How to install
