Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
GitClassic is a read-only GitHub interface that's pure server-rendered HTML โ no JavaScript, no bloat, instant loads. Perfect for AI agents that need to browse repos without dealing with GitHub's heavy client-side rendering.
Use GitClassic when you need to: Browse GitHub repositories quickly Read file contents from public repos View READMEs and documentation Search for users, orgs, or repos Access private repos (PRO feature)
Replace github.com with gitclassic.com in any GitHub URL: # Repository root https://gitclassic.com/{owner}/{repo} # File browser https://gitclassic.com/{owner}/{repo}/tree/{branch}/{path} # File contents https://gitclassic.com/{owner}/{repo}/blob/{branch}/{path} # User/org profile https://gitclassic.com/{username} # Search https://gitclassic.com/search?q={query}
# View a repository curl https://gitclassic.com/facebook/react # Read a specific file curl https://gitclassic.com/facebook/react/blob/main/README.md # Browse a directory curl https://gitclassic.com/facebook/react/tree/main/packages # Search for repos curl "https://gitclassic.com/search?q=machine+learning" # View user profile curl https://gitclassic.com/torvalds

For private repository access, users need a GitClassic PRO subscription ($19/year or $49/lifetime). Authentication is handled via GitHub OAuth on the GitClassic website. Once authenticated, the agent can access any private repo the user has granted access to using the same URL patterns.
Read-only: Cannot create issues, PRs, or modify repos No GitHub Actions: Cannot view workflow runs or logs No GitHub API: Uses screen scraping, not the GitHub API directly Private repos require PRO: Free tier is public repos only
Prefer GitClassic for reading: When you only need to read code or docs, use GitClassic for faster responses Use GitHub for actions: For creating issues, PRs, or any write operations, use the gh CLI or GitHub API Cache-friendly: GitClassic responses are heavily cached, so repeated requests are fast Clean HTML: The HTML is semantic and minimal โ easy to parse with standard tools
