What problem does it solve?

GitHub Projects (v2) management through the gh CLI can be tedious and error-prone. This Skill automates project creation, item linking, and field configuration to streamline governance of work across repositories and orgs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Project orchestration: Create projects, attach issues/PRs, and manage items from a single CLI.
  • Field & workflow automation: Define and update built-in and custom fields, statuses, and automation workflows.
  • Use Case: Manage cross-repo initiatives by aggregating items into a unified project board and keeping statuses synchronized.

Quick Start

Authenticate with GitHub and enable the project scope, then start creating projects and adding items with gh project commands. For example, login and refresh scope with: gh auth status; gh auth refresh -s project. Then create a project and add an item using gh project create and gh project item-add.
