GitHub Skill

Use the gh CLI to interact with GitHub repositories, issues, PRs, and workflow runs.

Use it for

• checking PR status, reviews, or merge readiness
• viewing workflow runs and logs
• creating or commenting on issues and PRs
• running gh api queries for repository data

Do not use it for

• local git operations
• non-GitHub remotes
• cloning repos
• code review itself; use a coding skill for that

Common commands

# Pull requests
gh pr list --repo owner/repo
gh pr view 55 --repo owner/repo
gh pr checks 55 --repo owner/repo
gh pr create --title "feat: add feature" --body "Description"
gh pr merge 55 --squash --repo owner/repo

# Issues
gh issue list --repo owner/repo --state open
gh issue create --title "Bug: something broken" --body "Details..."
gh issue close 42 --repo owner/repo

# Workflow runs
gh run list --repo owner/repo --limit 10
gh run view <run-id> --repo owner/repo
gh run view <run-id> --repo owner/repo --log-failed
gh run rerun <run-id> --failed --repo owner/repo

# API
gh api repos/owner/repo/pulls/55 --jq '.title, .state, .user.login'

Notes

• Always specify --repo owner/repo when not in a git directory.
• You can pass a full PR URL directly to many gh pr commands.
• Prefer --json plus --jq when you need structured output.
