The stand-in now handles `gh repo create`, mapping it to `gh api user\/repos` for a personal repository or `gh api orgs\/<org>\/repos` for an organisation. It warns that the proxy may refuse the request.\n\n**Why**\n\nClaude now has guidance for creating a repository in sessions without `gh`, instead of having no way to do it.\n\n- Area: GitHub\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
