## Workflow

1. **Determine the intent** from the user's request (list, view, create, edit, close, comment, etc.)
2. **Always pass** `-R benchmark-action/github-action-benchmark` unless the user says otherwise
3. **Run the appropriate `gh issue` command** using the Bash tool
4. **Present the output** clearly; for `--json` output, summarize the relevant fields rather than dumping raw JSON

## Tips

- Issue numbers and URLs are both valid arguments
- Use `--json fields` + `--jq expression` for precise filtering
- `gh issue status -R benchmark-action/github-action-benchmark` shows issues relevant to you
