When to use

Use this skill when the user asks anything about GitHub: issues, pull requests, CI runs, releases, comments, code review, or organizational metadata. Prefer the gh CLI over web URLs — gh handles auth, pagination, and structured output natively.

Common commands

gh pr view 123              # view PR details
gh pr checks 123            # CI status
gh issue list --state open  # list open issues
gh run list -L 5            # last 5 workflow runs
gh release create v1.2.3    # cut a release

When NOT to use

• The user's repo is on a non-GitHub forge (GitLab, Gitea, Bitbucket). Use the appropriate CLI instead.
• Operations that require admin permissions the agent doesn't have.
