GitHub Development

Structured PR code reviews, issue management, branch workflows, and release coordination for AI agents — orchestrates mcp-github tools into proven development workflows.

What this skill teaches

A reusable playbook for a specific kind of work.

An MCP server tells an agent which actions are available. A skill adds the judgment around those actions: how to recognize the job, which sequence to follow, what to avoid, and how to decide that the result is complete.

Orchestrate GitHub development workflows — PR code reviews with structured feedback, issue triage, branch management, release coordination, and code search. Use when reviewing pull requests, creating or managing issues, searching code, checking PR status, creating branches, managing releases, or coordinating…

Architecture

How GitHub Development guides an ADK-Rust agent.

The skill stays readable and portable because it contains instructions rather than service credentials or business data. ADK-Rust supplies it to the agent, the agent chooses from its reviewed tool boundary, and the connected MCP server performs the authenticated operation.

01

User request

The agent receives a goal expressed in ordinary language.

02

GitHub Development skill

Matches intent, supplies the decision guide, and narrows the tool boundary.

03

ADK-Rust agent

Plans the workflow and streams each meaningful step through the runtime.

04

mcp-github

Executes authenticated operations against the system that owns the capability.

05

Verified result

The skill's completion rules shape the evidence returned to the user.

Portable instructions: SKILL.md · Capability boundary: mcp-github · Allowed tools: 15

Decision guide

How the agent turns a request into the right action.

These routes come directly from the skill instructions. They help the model recognize intent and select a focused tool or workflow instead of improvising across the entire capability surface.

01

"review", "PR", "pull request", "diff"?

WORKFLOW 1: PR Code Review

02

"issue", "bug", "feature request", "ticket"?

WORKFLOW 2: Issue Management

03

"branch", "create branch", "delete branch"?

WORKFLOW 3: Branch Management

04

"release", "tag", "changelog", "merge to main"?

WORKFLOW 4: Release Coordination

05

"find", "search", "where is", "code"?

WORKFLOW 5: Code Search

06

Unclear?

Ask: "Would you like me to review a PR, manage issues, or search code?"

Proven workflows

Repeatable sequences for useful outcomes.

A workflow joins several tool calls into a task the user actually recognizes. The skill explains the sequence and the intended result while ADK-Rust streams the agent's progress through the shared runtime.

013-5 calls

PR Code Review

Structured review with inline comments and checklist

021-2 calls

Issue Management

Well-formatted issues with repro steps and labels

032-3 calls

Branch Management

Safe branch creation/cleanup with naming conventions

043-4 calls

Release Coordination

Verified merge with CI checks and notifications

051-2 calls

Code Search

Find code with file paths and context

Tool boundary

The skill may use 15 documented tools.

This allowlist is declared by the skill. It keeps the agent focused on the actions needed for this job while mcp-github retains responsibility for authentication, validation, and the connected system.

Working rules

What the agent should do.

  • Follow the decision guide, use the declared tool boundary, and verify the result before responding.

Operating boundaries

What the agent should avoid.

  • Review the complete SKILL.md before enabling this skill for production work.

Install and connect

Add the skill beside the capability it expects.

Install the repository where your ADK-Rust skill loader can discover it, connect mcp-github, and confirm the declared tools are available before asking the agent to use the workflow.
