# GitHub
## When to use
Any GitHub work: read or triage issues, open or review PRs, search code,
check CI runs, manage releases.
## Setup
Requires the `gh` CLI, authenticated. Fail loud when it is missing:
```
gh auth status || gh auth login
```
Never proceed with `curl` against api.github.com as a silent fallback —
`gh` owns auth, pagination, and output shape.
## Workflow
1. Confirm the repo (`owner/name`) and, for mutations, the exact target.
2. Read: `gh issue view`, `gh pr view`, `gh pr diff`, `gh search`, `gh run view`.
3. Mutate only when asked: `gh issue create`, `gh pr create`, `gh pr review`,
`gh pr merge`. Mutations need explicit user intent, not inference.
4. Quote what `gh` returned; never summarize a diff or check rollup you did not read.
## Non-goals
- Do not merge, close, or approve on your own initiative.
- Do not invent issue/PR numbers or check conclusions.
- Do not push, retag, or rewrite history without explicit authorization.
