ax-repo — Claude Code skill: what it does, how to install
Use this skill to star Necmttn/ax, open an issue, or prepare a pull request. It acts on an explicit request and asks before changes to your GitHub account.
npx skills add Necmttn/ax --skill ax-repo -a claude-codeWhat ax-repo does
Ask for a repository star, an issue, or help contributing a fix. The skill uses GitHub CLI gh for these actions and shows the command before requesting your approval. For an issue, it also presents the proposed title and body so you can review them first.
After an unhandled ax error, it can assemble a report containing the command, version, system details, and error text. The report is checked for secrets and sensitive paths before submission. Contributions can involve creating a fork, making a local branch, and opening a PR against Necmttn/ax; an existing clone of that repository skips the fork step.
The command-line path requires gh to be installed and authenticated. If it is unavailable, the skill gives you a browser link instead. It avoids mutating calls in CI or without an interactive terminal, and does not handle unrelated repositories.
