What are the prerequisites for this skill?

You need the GitHub CLI (gh) installed and authenticated, and the jq utility installed on your system for JSON processing.

Do I need to restart Claude Code after installation?

Yes, hooks are loaded at the start of a session. You must restart your Claude Code session for changes to settings.json to take effect.

Why should I use gh CLI hooks instead of WebFetch?

The gh CLI provides authenticated, structured JSON data with higher rate limits, whereas WebFetch relies on unauthenticated HTML scraping which is slower and lacks rich metadata.

Is this a permanent change to my system?

No, you can use the uninstall command at any time to remove the hooks from your Claude configuration and revert to default behavior.

开发者工具

Installs and manages hooks that optimize GitHub data retrieval by redirecting Claude from WebFetch scraping to the native GitHub CLI.

The gh-tools Hooks Manager is a utility designed to enhance how Claude Code interacts with GitHub repositories. By installing specialized hooks into the local Claude settings, it prevents inefficient and rate-limited WebFetch scraping of GitHub URLs, instead guiding the AI to utilize the gh CLI for authenticated, structured JSON data. This ensures faster performance, more reliable metadata extraction, and higher rate limits compared to standard web scraping, making it an essential tool for developers working extensively with GitHub repositories.
