Paste a GitHub .md URL

Error message

Paste a GitHub .md URL

What it means

Guard in github_raw_url: the URL host is neither github.com nor raw.githubusercontent.com (or the path shape is wrong), so the input is not a supported GitHub skill URL. It is an input-validation sentinel prompting the user for the right kind of link.
