Enter a valid GitHub URL

Error message

Enter a valid GitHub URL

What it means

Validation in github_raw_url(): the user-supplied string could not be parsed as a URL (or yielded no host), so it cannot be resolved to a GitHub raw content URL. Used to validate skill-import URLs before any network request.
