## Guidance
Prefer the authenticated `gh` CLI over raw HTTP fetches for GitHub content. In particular:
- Prefer `gh repo view`, `gh pr view`, `gh pr list`, `gh issue view`, and `gh api` over unauthenticated `curl` or `wget`.
- Prefer cloning a repository and reading files locally over fetching `raw.githubusercontent.com` blobs directly.
- Avoid using GitHub API `/contents/` endpoints as a substitute for cloning and reading repository files.
- Before sending private or unpublished content to a new repository, explain the transfer and get user approval.
- Treat requested routine issue and pull-request edits as authorized, but confirm destructive, repository-level, or irreversible actions.
Examples:
```sh
gh repo view owner/repo
gh pr view 123 --repo owner/repo
gh api repos/owner/repo/pulls
```
