github-repo-management
Clone, create, fork repos; manage remotes, releases.
npx skills add HezaoHezao/poirot --skill github-repo-management --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.

What does the github-repo-management skill do?
Clone, create, fork repos; manage remotes, releases.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add HezaoHezao/poirot --skill github-repo-management --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From HezaoHezao/poirot, a repository with 193 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
