description	Attach screenshots and/or an APK to a GitHub PR by uploading them to a secret gist and posting a PR comment with embedded image markdown and download links. Use when the user asks to post screenshots/APK to a PR, share build artifacts on a PR, attach a debug APK to a PR for testers, or attach binaries that can't be committed to the repo. Works around `gh gist create` rejecting binary files by cloning the gist over git and pushing the binaries.

pr-attach: Attach binaries to a GitHub PR via a secret gist

Use the bundled script to upload binary files (PNG screenshots, APKs, etc.) to a per-PR secret gist and post a single PR comment that embeds the screenshots and links to the APK download.

When to use

"Post these screenshots to PR #N"
"Attach the debug APK to PR #N so testers can grab it"
"Share build artifacts on the PR"
Any time files need to be linked from a PR comment but cannot be committed into the repo (e.g. *.png, *.apk)

Script

attach.sh lives in this skill directory.

attach.sh <pr-number> [--apk <path>] [--screenshot <path>]... [--caption <text>]... [--repo <owner/repo>] [--new]

<pr-number> is required.
--screenshot and --caption are repeatable; captions match screenshots positionally. If a caption is omitted, it is derived from the filename (basename without extension). Captions are not persisted across updates — re-running drops them back to filename stems.
--apk is optional. When provided the comment includes a download link and the file size.
--repo defaults to the current repo (gh repo view --json nameWithOwner).
--new forces a fresh gist + new comment even if a previous pr-attach gist already exists for this PR.

The gist is created as secret and is named <repo>#<pr-number> (e.g. itsjfx/openptv#8) so the script can find it again on subsequent runs.

Behaviour summary

The script is idempotent per PR by default: rerunning on the same PR reuses the existing gist and edits the existing comment in place rather than spawning a new one each time. Use --new only when you actually want a separate attachment thread (rare).

First run (no existing gist)

Create a placeholder secret gist named <repo>#<pr>.
Clone the gist repo (authenticated with gh auth token).
Copy the passed screenshots and/or APK in. Same-basename collisions in a single run get suffixed -1, -2, ...
Commit (as ai-tiro) and push to whatever branch the gist's HEAD is on (main on new gists, master on older).
Build raw URLs pinned to the commit SHA (.../raw/<sha>/<file>) — the unversioned shortcut 404s for files gist considers "large" (~10 MB+, e.g. typical debug APKs). Verify each returns HTTP 200, retrying for a few seconds since raw URLs can lag a push.
Post one PR comment with a hidden  marker at the top, the embedded screenshots, the APK download line, and a footer crediting this skill. Print the gist URL + comment URL.

Subsequent runs (gist already exists for this PR)

Find the gist by description (<repo>#<pr>) via gh api gists --paginate.
Clone it, overwrite passed files in place by exact basename, commit only if there's an actual diff, push.
Regenerate the comment body from the current contents of the gist — every image embedded, every APK linked, every other file linked. Files already in the gist that weren't passed this run stay in the comment.
Find the existing comment via the hidden marker and PATCH its body in place (gh api -X PATCH repos/.../issues/comments/<id> — gh CLI has no direct subcommand for editing issue comments).
If no comment with the marker exists (e.g. legacy comment), fall back to posting a new one.
