SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Coordinating GitHub operations like pull request reviews, issue tracking, releases, and CI/CD pipelines across repositories requires repetitive manual commands and lacks structured multi-agent coordination.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Workflow Modes: Provides specialized modes including gh-coordinator, pr-manager, issue-tracker, release-manager, repo-architect, code-reviewer, branch-manager, sync-coordinator, ci-orchestrator, and security-guardian.
  • Batch Operations: Executes multiple GitHub CLI commands in parallel within a single message for efficient issue creation, PR management, and branch operations.
  • Swarm Integration: Combines with ruv-swarm to spawn coordinator, reviewer, and tester agents for orchestrated GitHub workflows.
  • Use Case: A team lead can run the pr-manager mode to review and merge a feature branch with automated testing and multi-reviewer coordination in one coordinated workflow.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to use the github-modes pr-manager mode to review and merge a feature branch with automated testing and multi-reviewer coordination.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate pull request reviews with GitHub CLI?

Use the pr-manager mode, which coordinates gh pr create, gh pr view, gh pr review, and gh pr merge commands with multi-reviewer support and intelligent conflict resolution. Invoke it with a task description like reviewing and merging a feature branch.

What GitHub workflow modes are available in this skill?

Ten modes are provided: gh-coordinator, pr-manager, issue-tracker, release-manager, repo-architect, code-reviewer, branch-manager, sync-coordinator, ci-orchestrator, and security-guardian. Each targets a specific GitHub workflow with tailored tools and batch optimization.

Does this skill require GitHub CLI authentication?

Yes, the pre-execution hook runs gh auth status and exits if authentication is missing. It also verifies you are inside a git repository before starting any GitHub workflow coordination.

Can I run multiple GitHub commands in parallel?

Yes, all modes support batch operations in a single message, such as creating multiple issues and pull requests simultaneously alongside TodoWrite updates and git commands. This reduces round trips for multi-step workflows.

How does swarm coordination work with GitHub modes?

The skill integrates with ruv-swarm via MCP tools to initialize a hierarchical swarm, spawn coordinator, reviewer, and tester agents, then orchestrate the GitHub task in parallel. This is optional but enhances complex multi-repo workflows.
