GitHub Repo Sanity

When mentioning GitHub repositories, do not treat existence as endorsement.

Default behavior: if a repo looks stale, weakly adopted, or unmaintained, avoid recommending it as a default option.

When to use this skill

Use this skill when you:

• Recommend GitHub repositories to a user
• Compare multiple repositories or OSS options
• Cite a repo as an implementation model or best-in-class example
• Suggest a starter, template, SDK, tool, integration, or MCP server hosted on GitHub

Do not use this skill when the repo is only being mentioned as historical context, a private internal dependency, or a direct answer to "what is this repo?" In those cases, still flag staleness if it matters.
