name: github-docs description: > Look up GitHub and GitHub Actions documentation at docs.github.com/en using WebFetch. Teaches URL patterns, site navigation, and how to fetch specific docs pages.

GitHub Docs Lookup

Navigate and fetch documentation from docs.github.com/en to answer questions about GitHub, GitHub Actions, Packages, Security, API, and workflows. This skill encodes the GitHub docs structure so the agent can construct direct links and retrieve relevant documentation.


Intent Router

Load reference files for depth on specific topics:

TopicFileLoad when...
Site Navigationreferences/navigation.mdUnderstanding the docs structure and top-level sections
Quick Referencereferences/quick-reference.mdLooking up the most frequently needed pages
Actions Referencereferences/actions-reference.mdConfiguring GitHub Actions workflows and workflow syntax
Troubleshootingreferences/troubleshooting.mdFinding error-specific docs or version-specific information

Quick Start

Key URL Patterns

The GitHub docs are organized around these top-level sections:

  • Base: https://docs.github.com/en
  • Actions: https://docs.github.com/en/actions
  • Workflow syntax: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/writing-workflows/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions
  • Security: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/security-for-github-actions
  • REST API: https://docs.github.com/en/rest
  • Packages: https://docs.github.com/en/packages
  • Repositories: https://docs.github.com/en/repositories

How to Look Up Documentation

  1. Identify the topic (Actions, API, Packages, Repositories, Security, Codespaces)
  2. Start with the appropriate section URL from above
  3. Use WebFetch to load the page and extract relevant details
  4. When the specific page is unknown, load the quick-reference to find the most common pages
  5. For GitHub Enterprise, replace /en with /en/enterprise-server@x.x in the URL
# Navigate to a specific Actions topic by constructing its URL
# Pattern: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/<category>/<page-slug>
Use WebFetch on https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/caching-dependencies-to-speed-up-workflows

Common WebFetch Patterns

Use WebFetch on https://docs.github.com/en/actions/writing-workflows/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions to fetch workflow syntax
Use WebFetch on https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/workflow-events-that-trigger-workflows to look up workflow triggers
Use WebFetch on https://docs.github.com/en/rest/reference/actions to retrieve Actions API reference
Use WebFetch on https://docs.github.com/en/actions/security-for-github-actions/security-guides/automatic-token-authentication to understand token handling
