Rules
- Always check if CLI is installed and authenticated:
gh auth status
- If not installed, show
brew install gh && gh auth login and stop
- If not authenticated, show
gh auth login and stop
- Default to the current repo (detected from git remote) unless user specifies
<owner/repo>
- When listing issues/PRs, show number, title, author, and date — limit to 10 by default
- When viewing PR diffs, truncate at 100 lines and save full diff to
workspace/pr-<number>.diff
- NEVER approve or merge a PR without the user explicitly confirming
- For code review, summarize the diff first, then provide specific line-level feedback
- Keep responses concise: action confirmation in 1-2 lines, details in collapsible sections when possible
