What problem does it solve?

Setting up a production-ready GitHub repository with all best practices (community files, CI/CD, templates, docs) is time-consuming and prone to oversight. This skill automates the entire process, ensuring your repository is professional, maintainable, and ready for collaboration from day one.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Comprehensive Repository Setup: Initializes Git, creates essential community health files (README, LICENSE, CONTRIBUTING, CODE_OF_CONDUCT, SECURITY, CHANGELOG, CITATION.cff), and configures repository settings.
• Automated CI/CD & Quality Gates: Sets up GitHub Actions for linting, testing, releasing, and deploying documentation to GitHub Pages.
• Issue & PR Templates: Generates standardized templates for bug reports, feature requests, and pull requests, streamlining collaboration and ensuring consistent input.
• Use Case: A new open-source project is starting, and the lead developer wants to ensure it follows all industry best practices for community engagement, automation, and documentation. This skill guides the creation of the entire repository infrastructure, saving days of manual setup.

Quick Start

Use the github-repository-architect skill to set up a new public GitHub repository named "my-new-project" for the "my-org" organization. Include a MIT license, basic CI/CD workflows for linting and testing, and a GitHub Pages setup using Docsify.
