Working with GitHub

When to Use This (vs Other GitHub Skills)

Use this skill for read-only GitHub operations: viewing PRs, checking CI, listing issues, reviewing code, exploring repos.

Use github-pull-requests when creating or editing PRs.

Use github-issues when creating or filing issues.

Rules

• Always use gh — never use web fetch tools for GitHub operations.
• Never submit reviews. You may analyze and summarize, but do not run gh pr review (with --approve, --comment, or --request-changes) or gh pr comment. The user will write and submit their own review comments.

Key Principles

1. Use gh for all GitHub operations — it's authenticated and structured
2. Read-only by default — never submit reviews, comments, or approvals
3. Summarize what you find — the user wants analysis, not raw output
4. Use gh pr checkout to explore code locally when the diff isn't enough
