What the skill teaches
A skill from GitHub's gh-aw repository that lets an agent pull GitHub Discussions from the current repository or a named one through bundled shell and Python scripts. Unless a jq filter is passed, the script reports only the shape and size of the data, which keeps large responses out of the agent's context; with a filter it returns just the fields asked for, for example the discussions in one category or a count per category. It sits in gh-aw's own skills folder but takes any repository as an argument.
Capabilities
- List discussions in the current or a named repository
- Filter and reshape discussion data with jq
- Preview the data's schema and size before fetching it
