claude-github-tools

GitHub workflow skills for Claude Code, shipped as a plugin via the glitchwerks marketplace.

What this is

claude-github-tools bundles six GitHub workflow skills into a single Claude Code plugin. Three skills are pure LLM-based and work immediately after install; three are script-backed and use a plugin-owned Python virtualenv that a bundled SessionStart hook materializes automatically on first session.

Skill	What it does
gh-create-issue	Runs a structured discovery workflow — codebase read, overlap check, clarification pass — before drafting and creating a well-scoped GitHub Issue
gh-pr-review-address	Triages every open review comment and failing CI check on your PRs: auto-fixes unambiguous items, surfaces judgment calls for discussion, and logs deferred feedback as new issues
gh-quick-wins	Filters and ranks the open backlog by blast radius and impact, producing a top-10 table of actionable items
gh-refresh-issues	Fetches open issues (optionally including PRs) grouped by milestone, with a Labels column — zero LLM tokens consumed
gh-summary	Produces a roadmap snapshot covering epics, milestone completion percentages, critical/blocked issues, recent releases, and a short prose summary of recent activity
github-actions	Expert authoring, review, and debugging assistant for .github/workflows/*.yml files, reusable workflows, composite actions, and CI/CD pipelines

Prerequisites

GitHub CLI (required). All six skills shell out to gh for at least some operations. You must be authenticated before using any skill:

gh auth login

GitHub MCP server (optional). Skills that create GitHub Issues will use a configured GitHub MCP write tool when one is present (any namespace or implementation) and fall back to the gh CLI otherwise. No configuration of a specific tool name is required — the plugin works with or without MCP.

Python venv (automatic, script-backed skills only). gh-quick-wins, gh-refresh-issues, and gh-summary run bundled Python scripts. A SessionStart hook materializes the plugin's Python virtualenv into the plugin data directory on the first session after install. No manual setup step is needed.

Install

Inside Claude Code, run these two commands:

/plugin marketplace add glitchwerks/claude-plugins
/plugin install claude-github-tools@glitchwerks

Open a new session after installation to activate the SessionStart hook and materialize the venv for the three script-backed skills.

Local development

To develop or test against a local checkout, point Claude Code at the plugin directory directly:

claude --plugin-dir ./claude-github-tools

To reload plugins after making changes within a session:

/reload-plugins

To validate the plugin manifest:

claude plugin validate .claude-plugin/plugin.json
