GitHub Contribution Workflows
This skill is coordination-exempt: skip the ai-coord gate for its declared work.
Create or update GitHub contributions from repository evidence, using the matching workflow's templates, idempotency
rules, and Paul's writing voice.
Prerequisites
Use the first required read-only gh command in each workflow as authentication validation. Resolve <skill-dir> once
to the absolute directory containing this SKILL.md. The yeet-context.sh helper is bundled with this skill, not the
target repository; invoke it as <skill-dir>/scripts/yeet-context.sh and never search for it in the target repository.
Prefer the helper when the workflow needs repository, template, discussion, label, or issue/PR thread context.
For YAML issue forms, invoke <skill-dir>/scripts/issue-form.py. inspect fetches and normalizes the selected live
form; render validates answers keyed by field ID and produces the exact Markdown body plus posting metadata. The
helper never selects a template, writes answers or titles, performs an external-disclosure review, or posts externally.
For pull request workflows, also verify:
- Working tree is clean or changes are committed
- Current branch has commits ahead of the base branch
- Remote tracking is configured
Use cli-gh for GitHub reads, workflow automation, or command syntax that is not part of authoring and posting a
contribution.
Workflows
Each workflow is fully documented in its reference file. Load the appropriate reference based on user intent.
| Workflow | Trigger | Reference |
|---|
| Create PR | "create PR", "open PR", "yeet a PR" | references/create-pr.md |
| Update PR | "update PR", "edit PR" | references/update-pr.md |
| Create Issue | "create issue", "file issue" (generic repo) | references/create-issue.md |
| Update Issue | "update issue", "edit issue", "relabel issue" | references/update-issue.md |
| Claude Code Issue | "Claude Code issue", "report bug in CC" | references/issue-claude-code.md |
| Codex CLI Issue | "Codex issue", "report bug in Codex" | references/issue-codex-cli.md |
| Sablier Issue | "Sablier issue", "sablier-labs issue" | references/issue-sablier.md |
| Comment on Issue | "comment on issue", "reply on issue", "post a comment" | references/comment-issue.md |
| Create Discussion | "create discussion", "start discussion" | references/create-discussion.md |
| Update Discussion | "update discussion", "edit discussion" | references/update-discussion.md |
| Comment Discussion | "comment on discussion", "reply on discussion", "edit discussion comment" | references/comment-discussion.md |
Each workflow reference links only the shared context, writing, or posting guidance it needs. Post directly when the
user requested creation or update; do not add a confirmation gate. After a failed write, run the linked idempotency
check before any retry.
Never check an external template attestation unless repository or user evidence verifies it. If a required attestation
or field cannot be verified, ask for that missing fact rather than inventing agreement. Agent-status decoration belongs
outside the authored contribution; add emoji to a PR, issue, discussion, or comment only when the user's content or the
thread's register calls for it.
Completion
Complete when the requested contribution exists in its final authored state and the returned GitHub URL has been
verified. For updates/comments, report the changed artifact once; for failures, report the idempotency check and next
action without claiming a write succeeded.
Use ### 🚀 <artifact> created, ### ✅ <artifact> updated, ### ✅ Comment posted, or ### ✅ Comment updated,
followed by one Markdown link containing the repository, number, and title or action. Add a compact field list only when
base, draft state, reviewers, labels, or changed fields matter. On failure, lead with ### ⛔ <artifact> not <action>,
then state the attempted target, concrete error, idempotency result, and next action. Keep gh output, JSON,
diagnostics, template fields, URLs, and authored contribution text exact and undecorated.
