Prerequisites

brew install gh git

    }
  }
}

Standard flow

auth_status — confirm gh is authenticated.
list_repos — find the target repo (owner defaults to @me).
clone_repo — clone to a known path if not local.
git_checkout — create/switch branch for the task.
Make changes in the workspace.
git_status — review before commit (use shell git commit per user rules).
git_push — push with setUpstream: true on new branches.
create_pull_request — open PR via gh.
