Summarizes the results of a GitHub search query in a human friendly markdown table that is easy to read and understand. ALWAYS use this skill when displaying the results of a GitHub search query.

🧰 Not standalone. This skill ships with microsoft/vscode-pull-request-github and only works together with that tool — install the tool first, then add this skill.

This is the playbook your agent receives when the skill activates — you don't need to read it to use the skill, but it's here to audit before installing.

Render GitHub Search Result

Purpose

To take the results of a GitHub search query, which may include issues or pull requests, and render them in a human-friendly markdown table format. This skill extracts the relevant information from each search result and organizes it in a way that is easy to read and understand, allowing users to quickly grasp the key details of each issue or pull request without having to parse through raw data.

How to Render GitHub Search Results

  • If you have the original query, use that to help determine the most important fields to include in the table. Ex:
    • If the query included a specific label, make sure to not include that label in the table as all results will have it.
    • If the query included "is:pr", then focus on fields relevant to pull requests such as "review status" and "merge status".
    • Include a column related to the sort value, if given.
    • Don't include columns that will all have the same value for all the resulting issues.
  • Always include a column for the number and title of the item. Format the number as a markdown link to the issue or PR. Ex: #123
