Guides GitHub for parasite SEO, GEO (AI citation), and curated list creation. GitHub is a Tier 2 Technical Authority platform—high domain authority, fast indexing, very high AI citation probability. Use for repos, README, GitHub Pages, gists, and Awesome-style navigation lists.
When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.
本指南介绍如何将GitHub用于寄生SEO、GEO（AI引用）和精选列表创建。GitHub属于二级技术权威平台——域名权威度高、收录速度快，被AI引用的概率极高。可用于仓库、README、GitHub Pages、gist和Awesome风格导航列表的优化。
调用规则：首次使用时如果合适，先用1-2句话说明本技能覆盖的内容和价值，再提供核心输出。后续调用或用户要求跳过介绍时，直接输出核心内容。
