What
Claude now gathers repository visibility (public/private), branch protection rules, and rulesets from GitHub via gh when working in a git repository. This gives Claude better context for decisions about pushing, branching, and code review workflows.
Details
- Uses
ghCLI to query/rulesets?per_page=100and/branches?protected=true&per_page=100 - Includes org-level sibling repo docs (top 50 by
pushedAt) - Degrades gracefully when
ghis unavailable, unauthenticated, or the token lacks org scope — each section shows a "not queryable here" marker rather than failing - Org/repo docs are candidates only — Claude filters to those whose org already appears in known repo facts
Evidence
New repo context gathering (search for "Repo visibility & branch protection (via gh)" and "/rulesets?per_page=100")
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
