How does Deep Analysis Mode handle large repositories?

It uses a shallow clone with '--depth 1' to minimize bandwidth and storage, allowing it to quickly analyze the project structure without downloading the entire git history.

Can I use GitHub Navigator to analyze private repositories?

Yes, as long as your local 'gh' CLI is authenticated with a token that has the necessary permissions to access those private repositories.

Are destructive operations like merging PRs safe?

Yes, the skill is programmed with strict safety guardrails that require explicit user confirmation before executing any state-changing or destructive commands.

Does this skill require the GitHub CLI installed?

Yes, GitHub Navigator requires the official 'gh' CLI to be installed and authenticated on your system to perform repository operations.
