github-ecosystem
Generate comprehensive GitHub ecosystem configuration including CI/CD workflows, issue templates, PR templates, CODEOWNERS, dependabot, and Copilot instructions. Language-agnostic with Python, Go, and TypeScript support. Auto-detects project language from pyproject.toml, go.mod, or package.json. Use when setting up GitHub repos, adding CI/CD pipelines, creating issue/PR templates, configuring dependabot, adding CODEOWNERS, setting up Copilot instructions, or enhancing existing projects with GitHub tooling. Works on new or existing repositories with smart merging.

GitHub Ecosystem Configuration Generator
Generates production-ready GitHub configuration for any project.
Quick Start
Run in a project directory to auto-detect language and generate configuration:
python scripts/generate_github_config.py --project-path .Supported Languages
| Language | Detection Files | CI Tools |
|---|---|---|
| Python | pyproject.toml, setup.py | ruff, mypy, bandit, pytest |
| Go | go.mod | golangci-lint, go test |
| TypeScript | package.json + tsconfig.json | eslint, prettier, tsc, vitest/jest |
Components
GitHub Actions Workflows
ci.yml - Continuous Integration
- Multi-version test matrix
- Code quality checks (lint, format, typecheck)
- Security scanning
- Coverage reporting
- Build verification
release.yml (optional) - Release Automation
- Version bumping
- GitHub Release creation
- Package publishing
- Changelog generation
docker.yml (optional) - Container Builds
- Multi-platform builds (amd64, arm64)
- GHCR publishing
- Caching optimization
Issue Templates
- bug_report.md - Structured bug reporting
- feature_request.md - Feature proposals with API examples
- config.yml - Template chooser configuration
Other Templates
- PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md - PR checklist with change types
- CODEOWNERS - Code ownership definitions
- dependabot.yml - Automated dependency updates
- copilot-instructions.md - GitHub Copilot context
Configuration Options
| Option | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| --project-path | . | Project directory |
| --language | (auto) | Force language: python, go, typescript |
| --components | all | Comma-separated: workflows,templates,dependabot,codeowners,copilot |
| --include-release | false | Include release workflow |
| --include-docker | false | Include docker workflow |
| --codeowners | (optional) | CODEOWNERS entries (e.g., "* @team") |
| --overwrite | false | Overwrite existing files |
Enhancement Mode
When .github/ already exists, the skill enters enhancement mode:
- Detects existing configuration
- Shows what will be added/modified
- Merges without overwriting (unless --overwrite)
- Preserves custom modifications

Post-Generation
After generation:
- Review generated workflows for your needs
- Add any required secrets (e.g., PYPI_API_TOKEN for publishing)
- Customize version matrices if needed
- Update CODEOWNERS with actual team handles
