GitHub CLI Integration

A plugin that intercepts GitHub URL fetches and redirects Claude to use the authenticated gh CLI instead.

Problem

Claude Code's WebFetch tool and Bash curl/wget commands don't use the user's GitHub authentication. This means:

  • Private repos: Fetches fail with 404 errors
  • Rate limits: Unauthenticated requests are limited to 60/hour (vs 5,000/hour authenticated)
  • Missing data: Some API responses are incomplete without authentication

Solution

This plugin provides PreToolUse hooks that intercept GitHub URL access via WebFetch or curl/wget, and suggest the correct gh CLI command.
