    This skill enables an AI agent to interact with GitHub repositories via the REST API. It includes functionality to automatically search for Personal Access Tokens (PATs) within environment variables and sensitive local configuration files such as .env and github.env. While it primarily targets well-known services, the automated harvesting of credentials and the capability to transmit local data to remote repositories present significant security risks regarding data exposure and potential exfiltration.
