Upload to GitHub Gist

Upload content from the current conversation (a plan, summary, analysis, or other output) as a GitHub Gist using the gh CLI.

Prerequisites

• gh CLI must be installed and authenticated (gh auth status should succeed)

Usage

This skill triggers when the user asks to upload conversation content to a gist, for example:

• "Upload the plan to gist"
• "Upload the summary of our conversation as a gist"
• "Create a gist with the analysis above"
• "Share this as a gist"

Implementation

Step 1: Identify the Content

1. Look at the conversation history to identify what the user wants uploaded
2. If the user says "the plan", "the summary", "the analysis", etc., find that specific content in the conversation
3. If ambiguous, ask the user: "Which part of our conversation should I upload? For example, the plan, summary, or a specific section?"

Step 2: Format the Content

1. Take the identified content and format it as clean markdown
2. Choose a descriptive filename based on the content type, e.g. plan.md, summary.md, analysis.md
3. If the content relates to a specific project or topic, include that in the filename, e.g. migration-plan.md

Step 3: Upload via gh gist create

1. Write the content to a temporary file in /tmp/
2. Upload using gh:

   gh gist create /tmp/<filename>
   

   • Gists are created as secret by default. Note: secret gists are unlisted, not private, anyone with the URL can view them. Warn the user about this before uploading sensitive content.
   • If the user explicitly asks for a public gist, add --public
3. Capture the gist URL from the command output

Step 4: Report and Clean Up

1. Show the user the gist URL
2. Delete the temporary file
