What's Wrong?

When trying to install a GitHub skill in Claude Code, the repository picker shows "no repos match" even though the Claude GitHub App is installed and authorized.

What Should Happen?

My repositories should appear in the repository picker when installing a GitHub skill.

When prompted to select a repository, the picker shows "no repos match" despite GitHub being connected

Steps to Reproduce

The only visible error is the message "no repos match" in the repository picker UI. No additional error messages are displayed to the user, which makes this difficult to diagnose on the user side.

Additional Information

This is likely going to come up as a duplicate issue. I read the "resolved" ticket and the steps they took and the same solution didn't work for me

Steps I've already tried
Connected Claude to GitHub and granted access to all repositories
Fully disconnected and reconnected GitHub on both the Claude side (Settings → Connected accounts) and the GitHub side (uninstalled the Claude app from github.com/settings/installations and revoked from github.com/settings/apps/authorizations)
Added GitHub as an MCP server via the CLI: claude mcp add -s user --transport http github https://api.github.com/mcp
Tried in a fresh Claude Code session each time
