# GitHub Work GitHub end to end with the `gh` CLI (REST fallback where noted): auth, issues, the PR lifecycle, issue-to-PR delivery, code review, and repo management. This skill consolidates six former skills; each workflow lives complete in its reference file — ALWAYS read the matching reference before starting that workflow, the body below only routes. ## Routing | Task | Read first | |---|---| | Auth broken / new machine / token or SSH setup / gh login | `references/auth.md` | | Create, triage, label, assign, close issues | `references/issues.md` | | Branch, commit, open PR, watch CI, merge | `references/pr-workflow.md` | | Carry an ISSUE to a verified PR (full delivery loop) | `references/issue-to-pr.md` | | Review someone's PR: diffs, inline comments, verdict | `references/code-review.md` | | Clone/create/fork repos, remotes, releases | `references/repo-management.md` | Supporting assets: `scripts/gh-env.sh` + `scripts/git-credential-token.py` (auth helpers), `templates/` (PR bodies, bug report, feature request), `references/ci-troubleshooting.md`, `references/conventional-commits.md`, `references/github-api-cheatsheet.md`, `references/review-output-template.md`. ## Core discipline (applies to every workflow) - Preflight once per session: `gh auth status` — if it fails, go to `references/auth.md` before anything else. - Prefer `gh` over raw REST; drop to `gh api` only for endpoints the porcelain lacks (the cheatsheet lists them). - Never report CI green without checking `gh pr checks` yourself; never claim merged without verifying `state,mergedAt`. - Read full context before writing: `gh issue view --comments` / `gh pr view --comments` — decisions live in threads, not titles. - Sweep for duplicates before creating anything: `gh pr list --search` / `gh issue list --search`. ## Verification - The workflow's own reference file defines done for that task. - Cross-cutting: every claim about remote state (CI, merge, release, issue state) is backed by a fresh `gh` read, never memory.
