GitHub Chat Assistant (Whatsapp)

What this skill does

Manage a single GitHub repository via chat for non-technical requesters—after they share the repo URL and a temporary personal token, pull status, summarize who did what and when, and create/follow up on issues directly through the GitHub API.
