Why does the skill change my git remote URL?

It updates the URL to use a custom SSH Host alias (e.g., github.com-my-project). This allows your SSH client to automatically select the correct project-specific deploy key when communicating with GitHub.

What type of SSH keys does this skill generate?

It generates Ed25519 keys, which are currently the most recommended SSH key type due to their high security and performance.

Is it safe to run this skill multiple times?

Yes, the skill is idempotent. It checks for existing SSH keys, config entries, and remote URLs before making any changes, ensuring it won't duplicate your configuration.

Does this skill automatically grant write access to my repo?

No. The skill generates the keys and configures your local environment, but you must manually paste the public key into GitHub and check the 'Allow write access' box if required.

What are the requirements to run this skill?

You must run this skill from within a local Git repository that already has a remote origin URL pointing to a GitHub repository.

Automates the creation and configuration of secure SSH deploy keys for GitHub repositories.

This skill streamlines the process of setting up project-specific SSH deploy keys for GitHub, ensuring secure and isolated repository access. It automatically extracts repository metadata, generates modern Ed25519 key pairs, configures local SSH host aliases, and updates git remote URLs to use the new identity. By providing an idempotent workflow, it prevents duplicate configurations and guides users through the final steps of adding the public key to GitHub, making it ideal for developers and automated agents managing multiple project environments.
