github-code

name	github-code
description	Work with GitHub repositories, source code, branches, commits, pull requests, reviews, diffs, CI, and repository credentials. Use for implementation, source investigation, clone/fetch/branch workflows, PR creation or updates, review feedback, GitHub Actions checks, and repository permission failures. Prefer this skill for repository tasks even when they concern a Sentry product.

GitHub Code Operations

Use git and gh for repository work.

Action	Tool / command
Create PR	github_createPullRequest (not gh pr create)
Update PR title/body/base/state	github_updatePullRequest (not raw PATCH / gh pr edit)
Resolve review thread	github_resolvePullRequestReviewThread (not raw GraphQL)
Clone missing repo	github_cloneRepository; on Workspace match error use switchWorkspace

Open when needed

Need	Read
Commands, permissions, allowlist	references/api-surface.md
Edit → verify → PR packaging	references/workflow.md
Failed command or permission recovery	references/troubleshooting-workarounds.md

Always

• Resolve repo from the request, then github.repo. Run jr-rpc config get github.repo standalone.
• Keep --repo owner/repo explicit on gh; use git -C PATH for local repos.
• Read applicable AGENTS.md before editing. Narrower repo/task instructions win.
• Preserve unrelated work. Never force-push, delete refs, or do destructive merges.
• Base conclusions on repository evidence. Do not claim a check ran unless it did.
• Push the branch before creating a bot-owned PR. Runtime injects installation credentials; never ask for a user token for bot pushes.
• Tool-routing denials need the named tool. Only upstream denials justify permission remediation.
• Stop for ambiguous targets, missing access, destructive ops, or unresolved upstream permission failures.
• Unless the user opts out, finish completed edits with a pushed branch and PR (draft by default).
• Report to the user: repo, branch, PR URL/number, local check results, and anything not run.

Do not install or repair the GitHub plugin runtime from this skill. The plugin manifest owns that.
