# GitHub skill

Use the `gh` CLI for GitHub-side operations.

## When to use
- Checking PR status, reviews, merge readiness
- Viewing CI / workflow run status and logs
- Creating, closing, commenting on issues
- Querying GitHub API for repository data

## When NOT to use
- Local git operations (commit, push, pull, branch) -> use `git` directly.
- Non-GitHub repos -> use that platform's CLI.

## Setup
- Run `gh auth login` once (interactive — do not attempt from this skill).
- Confirm with `gh auth status`.

## Procedure
1. Construct the `gh` command from `${input.action}` and optional
   `${input.repo}`.
2. Run via `chat_agent_executer`.
3. Capture stdout. Truncate to ~12000 chars before returning.
4. Return `{ result: <stdout> }`.
