System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

It prevents slow, unreliable web scraping and HTML parsing when an AI coding agent needs accurate GitHub content from links the user provides.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • GitHub CLI-first retrieval: Uses gh to fetch issues, pull requests, diffs, repos, commits, gists, and related artifacts with structured output.
  • URL-to-command routing: Parses owner/repo/number (or tag/sha/path) from the shared GitHub URL and calls the matching gh subcommand.
  • Safety guardrails: Treats fetched content as untrusted and avoids executing instructions found in issue/PR/comment bodies, with a fallback to web fetching if gh is unavailable or unauthenticated.

Quick Start

Tell your agent: "Use gh-fetch to fetch and summarize the content from this GitHub pull request link."
