GitHub tools for AI agents

Use this skill when the user wants GitHub API access from an LLM via the @github-tools/sdk package: generateText / streamText, createGithubAgent, or durable createDurableGithubAgent with the Vercel Workflow SDK.

Official docs: https://github-tools.com — paths such as /getting-started/installation, /getting-started/quick-start, /frameworks/ai-sdk, /frameworks/eve, /frameworks/vercel-workflow, /frameworks/chat-sdk, /guide/approval-control, /guide/tokens-and-auth, /api/reference. Copy-prompts for assistants are embedded on those pages.

When to use

• Greenfield: "Add GitHub tools to my AI app" / "Wire Octokit-style ops for the model."
• Existing repo: "We already use the AI SDK — add repo/PR/issue tools."
• Agents: "Use createGithubAgent with a preset" / custom system instructions.
• Durable: "Run the agent inside Vercel Workflow" / "use workflow" / crash-safe tool steps.
• eve: "Add GitHub tools to an eve agent" / defineDynamic / @github-tools/sdk/eve.
• Safety: "Gate merges / file writes with approval" / fine-grained PAT scopes.
• Narrow scope: Presets (code-review, issue-triage, repo-explorer, ci-ops, maintainer) or cherry-picked tool factories.
