SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables you to automate common GitHub operations from the command line using the gh CLI, reducing manual navigation between UI and terminal and speeding up development workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Issue and PR management: create, list, assign, and review issues and pull requests from scripts or prompts.
  • CI/worflows and API access: check action runs, fetch status, inspect logs, and retrieve data not exposed by other subcommands.
  • Automation & scripting: compose multi-step actions by chaining gh commands and integrating with custom scripts.

Quick Start

Start by listing open PRs for a repo: gh pr list --repo owner/repo --state open Create an issue in a project not in a git directory: gh issue create --title "Sample issue" --body "Describe the issue" --repo owner/repo Check the status of the latest workflow run: gh run list --repo owner/repo --limit 5
