Checking that the SKILL.md file is still in the repository.

Use the gh CLI to interact with GitHub when the user references GitHub URLs, repos, PRs, issues, actions, releases, or any github.com resource. Activates for GitHub URLs (github.com/*), PR/issue references (#123), repo references (owner/repo), or questions about GitHub resources.

Install

npx vskill@latest install danievanzyl/code-skills/gh-github

SKILL.md

GitHub CLI Skill

Use gh CLI for all GitHub interactions. Never use raw API calls, curl, or WebFetch for github.com URLs.

URL Parsing

When the user provides a GitHub URL, extract the relevant parts and map to gh subcommands:

URL PatternCommand
github.com/OWNER/REPOgh repo view OWNER/REPO
github.com/OWNER/REPO/pull/Ngh pr view N --repo OWNER/REPO
github.com/OWNER/REPO/issues/Ngh issue view N --repo OWNER/REPO
github.com/OWNER/REPO/actions/runs/IDgh run view ID --repo OWNER/REPO
github.com/OWNER/REPO/releases/tag/TAGgh release view TAG --repo OWNER/REPO
github.com/OWNER/REPO/commit/SHAgh api repos/OWNER/REPO/commits/SHA
github.com/OWNER/REPO/blob/...gh api to fetch file contents or clone

Always include --repo OWNER/REPO when operating outside the current repo context.

Common Operations

PRs
bash
gh pr view N                    # view PR details
gh pr view N --comments         # view PR with comments
gh pr diff N                    # view PR diff
gh pr checks N                  # view CI status
gh pr list                      # list open PRs
gh pr list --state merged       # list merged PRs
gh pr list --author @me         # my PRs
gh pr review N --approve        # approve PR
gh pr merge N --squash          # merge PR
Issues
bash
gh issue view N                 # view issue
gh issue list                   # list open issues
gh issue list --label bug       # filter by label
gh issue create --title "..." --body "..."
gh issue comment N --body "..."
Repos
bash
gh repo view OWNER/REPO         # repo overview
gh repo clone OWNER/REPO        # clone
gh repo list OWNER              # list repos for owner
gh search repos "query"         # search repos
Actions / CI
bash
gh run list                     # recent workflow runs
gh run view ID                  # run details
gh run view ID --log            # full logs
gh run view ID --log-failed     # only failed step logs
gh run rerun ID                 # rerun a failed run
gh workflow list                # list workflows
gh workflow run NAME            # trigger workflow
Releases
bash
gh release list                 # list releases
gh release view TAG             # view specific release
gh release create TAG --generate-notes
API (fallback for anything gh doesn't have a subcommand for)
bash
gh api repos/OWNER/REPO/commits/SHA
gh api repos/OWNER/REPO/pulls/N/comments
gh api repos/OWNER/REPO/actions/artifacts
gh api graphql -f query='{ ... }'

Rules

  • Always prefer gh subcommands over gh api when a subcommand exists.
  • For PR review comments use gh api repos/OWNER/REPO/pulls/N/comments (review comments) vs gh issue view N --comments (conversation comments).
  • Use --json flag + --jq for extracting specific fields when the user needs structured data.
  • If gh auth status fails, tell the user to run gh auth login.
  • When inside a git repo that tracks a GitHub remote, --repo can be omitted.
  • For large outputs (logs, diffs), pipe through head or use --limit flags to avoid flooding the terminal.
