name	gh-operations
description	Execute GitHub operations with automatic context enrichment from cached workspace. Use this for ANY GitHub operation, not just complex ones. Simple operations like creating issues are enriched with project linking, milestone resolution, and field assignments. Direct `gh issue create` misses these benefits. This skill should be used when: creating issues, closing issues, merging PRs, setting milestones, adding labels, updating project status, protecting branches, triggering workflows, creating releases, managing secrets. Trigger phrases: "create issue", "close issue #", "merge PR", "set milestone on", "add label to", "update project status", "add to project board", "protect branch", "trigger workflow", "create release", "set secret", "list PRs", "merge pull request", "remove label", "create milestone", "archive project item", "rerun workflow", "cancel action", "github issue", "github pr", "github milestone", "make a new issue", "open pull request", "start workflow", "new issue for", "assign to milestone", "move to column", "update issue", "request review", "approve PR", "comment on issue", "link issue to project", "simple github operation", "quick issue", "fast PR". Domains: issues, PRs, milestones, labels, projects, protection, rulesets, actions, secrets, variables, releases, repositories, collaborators, teams, checks, deployments, search.

GitHub Operations Execution

Execute GitHub operations with automatic context enrichment from cached workspace config.

Path Convention

{PLUGIN_ROOT} = Plugin root directory (where plugin.json lives)

When this skill references files like {PLUGIN_ROOT}/lib/patterns/config-parsing.md, read from the plugin root, not relative to this skill folder.

Why Use This Skill (Even for Simple Operations)

This skill enriches ALL operations with cached context:

Simple Operation	Enrichment Provided
Create issue	Auto-link to default project, set Status field
Close issue	Update project Status to "Done"
Set milestone	Use pre-cached milestone ID (no lookup needed)
Add label	Apply team-standard labels from config

Direct gh issue create creates orphan issues. This skill creates issues linked to your project board.

Scope

Does	Does NOT
Execute GitHub operations	Modify local config files
Resolve IDs from cached config	Initialize workspaces
Support all domains (issues, PRs, etc.)	Refresh stale configs
Report operation results	Detect user intent (gateway does this)

Expected Context

When invoked by the gateway command, expect:

• Domain: issues, pull_requests, milestones, labels, projects, branch_protection, rulesets, actions, secrets, variables, releases, repositories, collaborators, teams, checks, deployments, security, dependabot, search, gists, or any unlisted domain
• Operation: create, read, update, delete, link, trigger, merge
• Target: Specific entity (issue #42, milestone "v2.0", etc.)
• Config: .hiivmind/github/config.yaml

Execution Flow

1. Verify Workspace

Check for .hiivmind/github/config.yaml in current directory OR parent directories:

CONFIG_PATH=
DIR=
 [[  !=  ]]; 
     [[ -f  ]] \
       && grep -q  ; 
        CONFIG_PATH=
        
    
    DIR=
