Ask Github

GitHub repository exploration plugin for OpenCode. Clones repositories on-demand and delegates analysis to AI subagents.

Features

• Auto-clone: Repositories are cloned on-demand with shallow clone for speed
• AI Analysis: Delegates to the explore subagent for codebase analysis
• Aliases: Configure shortcuts for frequently used repositories
• Cache Management: List and remove cloned repositories

Installation

Install via npm/bun:

bunx opencode-ask-github
# or
npx opencode-ask-github

Or add manually to your OpenCode configuration (~/.config/opencode/config.json):

{
  "plugins": ["opencode-ask-github"]
}

Commands

/gh-ask <repo> [question]

Clone/locate a repository and analyze it with AI.

/gh-ask sveltejs/svelte how is the component compiler structured?
/gh-ask https://github.com/tailwindlabs/tailwindcss what's the CLI architecture?
/gh-ask sv explain the reactivity system

The command nudges the AI to use the gh-ask tool, which prepares the repository locally. The AI then delegates to a subagent for exploration.

Supported input formats:

• GitHub URLs: https://github.com/owner/repo
• owner/repo pairs: sveltejs/svelte
• Aliases: sv (if configured)

/gh-list

List all cloned repositories and configured aliases.

/gh-remove <repo>

Remove a cloned repository from the cache.

AI Tool

The plugin provides a single tool for the AI:

Tool	Description
gh-ask	Prepare a GitHub repo for exploration (clone/update). Returns the local path and suggests a subagent for analysis.

The AI can call this tool directly when it needs to explore a repository, even without the /gh-ask command.

Configuration

Configuration is stored in ~/.config/opencode/ask-github.json.

Aliases

Add aliases for frequently used repositories by editing the config file directly:

{
  "aliases": {
    "sv": "sveltejs/svelte",
    "tw": "tailwindlabs/tailwindcss"
  }
}

You can also use /gh-list to see all configured aliases.

Prompt

Customize which subagent is suggested for repository exploration:

{
  "prompt": {
    "agent": "general"
  }
}

Default agent is explore.

Storage

Repositories are cloned to ~/.cache/opencode-github/{owner}/{repo}/.
