Documentation

README

Excerpt

/github-release-briefing-skill

Create a current briefing for the latest published release of one public GitHub repository. Run scripts/run_pipeline.py with an OWNER/REPOSITORY input. The command uses GitHub's public REST endpoint, writes a Markdown briefing, and does not authenticate, publish, modify a repository, or download release assets.

python3 scripts/run_pipeline.py --repository openai/openai-python --output release.md

Required behavior

Reject malformed repository identifiers before any request.
Retrieve only the latest published release and identify its tag, title, date, and URL.
State clearly when a repository has no published release or is unavailable.
Include the GitHub API source URL so a human can inspect the result.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
