GitHub operations should be fast, scriptable, and verifiable. Stay in terminal flow—use web UI only for complex reviews.
MANDATORY: Always verify gh operations succeeded. Never assume commands worked.
Use gh CLI for: Creating PRs, monitoring CI, managing issues, checking out PRs for review, routine operations.
Use web UI for: Complex PR reviews, large diffs, repository settings, visual context.
