# Verifying GitHub Context
## Purpose
This skill ensures that the agent is aware of its identity (GitHub user) and location (repository and organization) before performing any actions. This prevents accidental data leakage between personal and work accounts.
## 1. Safety & Verification
- **Mandatory First Step**: This skill MUST be executed at the beginning of every interaction involving GitHub.
- **Human Confirmation**: The agent MUST report the results (User, Organization, Repository) to the user and wait for explicit confirmation that the context is correct.
## 2. Common Workflows
### Workflow: Check Authentication and Remote
Retrieves current login and remote URLs.
**Command**:
```bash
gh auth status && git remote -v
```
## 3. Output Handling
The agent should parse the output and present it clearly:
- **Logged in as**: [username]
- **Active Repository**: [owner/repo]
- **Remotes**: [origin URL]
If the user or repository does not match the expected context for the task (e.g., work-related task in a personal repo), the agent MUST STOP and alert the user.
