This GitHub skill uses the `gh` CLI to manage pull requests, issues, CI workflows, and repository queries without local git operations. Use it to check PR and CI status, create or comment on issues, filter pull requests, view workflow logs, and query GitHub API data. Avoid using this skill for local git operations, code review of actual changes, repository cloning, or complex interactions better handled through direct file inspection or coding tools.

# GitHub Skill

Use the `gh` CLI to interact with GitHub repositories, issues, PRs, and CI.

## When to Use

✅ **USE this skill when:**

- Checking PR status, reviews, or merge readiness
- Viewing CI/workflow run status and logs
- Creating, closing, or commenting on issues
- Creating or merging pull requests
- Querying GitHub API for repository data
- Listing repos, releases, or collaborators

## When NOT to Use

❌ **DON'T use this skill when:**

- Local git operations (commit, push, pull, branch) → use `git` directly
- Non-GitHub repos (GitLab, Bitbucket, self-hosted) → different CLIs
- Cloning repositories → use `git clone`
- Reviewing actual code changes → use `coding-agent` skill
- Complex multi-file diffs → use `coding-agent` or read files directly

## Setup

```bash
# Authenticate (one-time)
gh auth login

# Verify
gh auth status
```

## Common Commands

### Pull Requests

```bash
# List PRs
gh pr list --repo owner/repo

# Check CI status
gh pr checks 55 --repo owner/repo

# View PR details
gh pr view 55 --repo owner/repo

# Create PR
gh pr create --title "feat: add feature" --body "Description"

# Merge PR
gh pr merge 55 --squash --repo owner/repo
```

### Issues

```bash
# List issues
gh issue list --repo owner/repo --state open

# Create issue
gh issue create --title "Bug: something broken" --body "Details..."

# Close issue
gh issue close 42 --repo owner/repo
```

### CI/Workflow Runs

```bash
# List recent runs
gh run list --repo owner/repo --limit 10

# View specific run
gh run view <run-id> --repo owner/repo

# View failed step logs only
gh run view <run-id> --repo owner/repo --log-failed

# Re-run failed jobs
gh run rerun <run-id> --failed --repo owner/repo
```

### API Queries

```bash
# Get PR with specific fields
gh api repos/owner/repo/pulls/55 --jq '.title, .state, .user.login'

# List all labels
gh api repos/owner/repo/labels --jq '.[].name'

# Get repo stats
gh api repos/owner/repo --jq '{stars: .stargazers_count, forks: .forks_count}'
```

## JSON Output

Most commands support `--json` for structured output with `--jq` filtering:

```bash
gh issue list --repo owner/repo --json number,title --jq '.[] | "\(.number): \(.title)"'
gh pr list --json number,title,state,mergeable --jq '.[] | select(.mergeable == "MERGEABLE")'
```

## Templates

### PR Review Summary

```bash
# Get PR overview for review
PR=55 REPO=owner/repo
echo "## PR #$PR Summary"
gh pr view $PR --repo $REPO --json title,body,author,additions,deletions,changedFiles \
  --jq '"**\(.title)** by @\(.author.login)\n\n\(.body)\n\n📊 +\(.additions) -\(.deletions) across \(.changedFiles) files"'
gh pr checks $PR --repo $REPO
```

### Issue Triage

```bash
# Quick issue triage view
gh issue list --repo owner/repo --state open --json number,title,labels,createdAt \
  --jq '.[] | "[\(.number)] \(.title) - \([.labels[].name] | join(", ")) (\(.createdAt[:10]))"'
```

## Notes

- Always specify `--repo owner/repo` when not in a git directory
- Use URLs directly: `gh pr view https://github.com/owner/repo/pull/55`
- Rate limits apply; use `gh api --cache 1h` for repeated queries
