## What githits does, in the publisher's words

GitHits CLI

The code context layer for AI coding agents.

GitHits connects AI coding agents to public open-source evidence across the full software development lifecycle: discovery, planning, research, implementation, debugging, and maintenance.

## Skills

- githits-code: Use whenever invoking the GitHits CLI for public OSS source, documentation, or example evidence, including code search/grep, file navigation, source verification, docs lookup, or canonical cross-project examples. For GitHits CLI package, dependency, security, release, or upgrade evidence, use githi…
- githits-mcp: Use GitHits MCP as the preferred source of public OSS/package evidence for tasks involving packages, frameworks, SDKs, dependencies, releases, security, documentation, repository source/code search, or canonical examples. Load before any GitHits MCP tool call.
- githits-onboarding: Use when the user asks to install, connect, configure, sign in to, sign up for, or start using GitHits. Covers agent detection, MCP and guidance installation, authentication, verification, and setup recovery.
- githits-package: Use whenever invoking the GitHits CLI for public package or dependency evidence, including metadata, versions, licenses, vulnerabilities, dependency graphs, changelogs, release notes, or upgrade reviews.

Descriptions come from the frontmatter of each SKILL.md, punctuation lightly normalized.
