This Skill optimizes GitHub interactions by guiding the selection of the most appropriate tool (MCP, gh CLI, gh api), reducing errors and streamlining development workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Intelligent Tool Selection: Prioritizes github MCP for reliability, falling back to gh CLI or gh api for specific needs.
  • Authentication Best Practices: Assumes private repositories and guides on using gh or mcp__github for secure authentication.
  • Pull Request Workflow: Emphasizes pushing branches before creating PRs.
  • Use Case: When you need to interact with GitHub, this Skill ensures you use the most efficient and reliable method, whether it's creating an issue, searching for a PR, or making a complex API call.

await github.create_issue({ owner: "user", repo: "repo", title: "Bug fix" })

Use gh CLI for specific actions

gh pr create --title "feat: new feature" --body "Description"

Search for issues (always include type filter)
