Create or clone Git repositories into the configured ghq layout. Use whenever a task requires initializing a new repository or obtaining a local clone, before choosing a directory or running git init or git clone.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

3 rules. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈1

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 2

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Very specific:

    Use ghq so repositories follow the configured root and host/owner/repository layout.

    line 8
  2. Distinctive:

    Do not choose an arbitrary clone directory or use git init or git clone directly unless the user explicitly requests a different location …

    line 9
  3. Very specific:

    Create a new local repository with ghq create HOST/OWNER/REPOSITORY.

    line 14

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Create or Clone Repository

Use ghq so repositories follow the configured root and host/owner/repository layout. Do not choose an arbitrary clone directory or use git init or git clone directly unless the user explicitly requests a different location or method.

  • Confirm the repository identity and check ghq list -p for an existing clone. Reuse it when available; do not relocate an existing repository.
  • Clone a remote repository with ghq get -p HOST/OWNER/REPOSITORY (SSH), or ghq get URL when a specific URL is provided.
  • Create a new local repository with ghq create HOST/OWNER/REPOSITORY. If the identity is unknown, ask rather than inventing a host or owner.
  • Resolve the resulting path with ghq list -p -e HOST/OWNER/REPOSITORY and run subsequent commands there.

ghq create does not create a hosted repository or configure origin. When worktrees are needed, register the intended remote URL and make the initial commit first.

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
