SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes friction from common GitHub tasks by providing concise, repeatable gh CLI workflows for creating and reviewing pull requests, monitoring CI, managing issues, and making releases so you can move faster without web UI context switching.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Pull Request Workflows: Create filled or draft PRs, add reviewers and labels, and choose merge strategies (squash, rebase, merge).
  • Code Review & Merging: View PR diffs, approve, request changes, and merge automatically when CI passes.
  • CI and Releases: Inspect workflow runs, watch and re-run jobs, and create releases with generated notes and assets.
  • GraphQL & JSON Automation: Use gh api graphql and structured JSON output for scripted queries, pagination, and advanced repository analytics.

Quick Start

Create a filled pull request for owner/repo, watch CI until it passes, and then squash-merge with branch deletion using gh.
