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
gh pr checks 123
gh issue list --state open
gh run list -L 5
gh release create v1.2.3
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.
