How does this skill handle GitHub authentication?

The skill automatically detects authentication tokens from your GH_TOKEN environment variable or via the GitHub CLI 'gh auth token' command.

Does it filter out noisy files like lockfiles?

Yes, fetch-diff is designed to filter out auto-generated files so you can focus on the logic changes that matter during a review.

What is the benefit of adding line numbers to the diff?

Adding line numbers makes it significantly easier to reference specific blocks of code when providing feedback or asking Claude to suggest improvements.

Can I use this for private GitHub repositories?

Absolutely. As long as your GitHub token has read access to the repository, the skill can fetch the diffs.
