# Building GitHub Index (v2 — DEPRECATED) **⚠️ DEPRECATED: Use the `building-github-index` skill instead.** Despite the "-v2" directory name, this is the *older* implementation. It fetches the repo tree and then every file individually through `api.github.com`, which is slow and burns per-file rate limit. `building-github-index` supersedes it with a single-request tarball download that processes files locally. This directory is retained only so existing references resolve. It receives no further updates. --- ## Legacy Documentation Create markdown indexes of GitHub repositories optimized for Claude project knowledge. Indexes enable retrieval via GitHub API with semantic descriptions for effective matching. ## Quick Start ```bash # Documentation repos (markdown/notebooks) python scripts/github_index.py owner/repo -o index.md # Code repos (extract symbols via tree-sitter) python scripts/github_index.py owner/repo --code-symbols -o index.md # Multiple repos combined python scripts/github_index.py owner/repo1 owner/repo2 -o combined.md ``` ## Script Options | Flag | Description | |------|-------------| | `-o, --output` | Output file (default: `github_index.md`) | | `--token` | GitHub PAT; also reads `GITHUB_TOKEN` env | | `--include-patterns` | Only index matching globs: `"docs/**" "src/**"` | | `--exclude-patterns` | Skip matching globs: `"test/**"` | | `--max-files` | Cap files per repo (default: 200) | | `--skip-fetch` | Tree only, no content fetch (fast, filename-...
