GitHub

Use gh as the primary interface for GitHub data and actions. Keep this skill focused on basic operations and command safety, not maintainer triage strategy.

Before Running Commands

Confirm gh exists and is authenticated when live GitHub data is required.
Prefer --repo owner/repo unless the current directory is clearly inside the intended GitHub repository.
Use --json and --jq when the result will be summarized or filtered.
Preview write actions before executing them when the user did not explicitly ask for the exact write.
Do not close issues, merge pull requests, rerun CI, delete branches, publish releases, or edit repository settings without explicit user approval.

Common Commands

gh auth status
gh repo view --json nameWithOwner,url,defaultBranchRef
gh issue list --repo owner/repo --state open --limit 50 --json number,title,author,labels,updatedAt,url
gh issue view 123 --repo owner/repo --json number,title,author,body,comments,labels,state,url
gh pr list --repo owner/repo --state open --limit 50 --json number,title,author,isDraft,reviewDecision,mergeStateStatus,url
gh pr view 55 --repo owner/repo --json number,title,state,author,body,comments,files,commits,statusCheckRollup,url
gh pr diff 55 --repo owner/repo --patch
gh pr checks 55 --repo owner/repo
gh run list --repo owner/repo --limit 20
gh run view RUN_ID --repo owner/repo --log-failed
gh release list --repo owner/repo --limit 20
gh api repos/owner/repo/pulls/55 --jq '{title, state, user: .user.login}'

For write actions, show the intended command first and wait for approval unless the user explicitly asked for that exact action.

Default Output

When reporting GitHub data, include:

Repository or URL inspected
Commands or data sources used
Current state and relevant IDs
Any action taken, or the exact command you would run next
Permission or authentication blockers, if any
