System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Guidance for selecting between equivalent tools when multiple options exist to ensure consistent, efficient tool usage across GitHub, git, or other systems where both CLI tools and MCP servers are available.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Prefer gh CLI over MCP tools for GitHub operations.
  • Prioritize native git commands for local repository work to preserve state and hooks.
  • Use MCP tools for Jira/Atlassian workflows when MCP integration provides unique capabilities.
  • Provide a decision framework to guide tool selection across documentation lookups and other integrations.

Quick Start

Ask the system to apply the tool-preference policy for a given task, for example use gh pr list over MCP for open PRs.
