GitHub Sandbox File Downloader

Skill by ara.so — Daily 2026 Skills collection.

A GitHub Actions-based tool that lets you download files into your repository simply by writing a specially formatted commit message — no CLI, no tokens, no secrets required.

What It Does

github-sandbox listens for commit messages containing download: or download-zip: commands. When detected, a GitHub Actions workflow runs and:

• download: — Fetches each URL and saves files individually to downloads/ using their original filenames.
• download-zip: — Fetches all URLs and bundles them into a single timestamped .zip archive in downloads/.
