Use gh issue, gh pr, gh run, and gh api for issues, PRs, CI runs, and advanced queries." metadata: {"nanobot":{"emoji":"🐙","requires":{"bins":["gh"]},"install":[{"id":"brew","kind":"brew","formula":"gh","bins":["gh"],"label":"Install GitHub CLI (brew)"},{"id":"apt","kind":"apt","package":"gh","bins":["gh"],"label":"Install GitHub CLI (apt)"}]}}
GitHub Skill
Use the gh CLI to interact with GitHub. Always specify --repo owner/repo when not in a git directory, or use URLs directly.
Pull Requests
Check CI status on a PR:
bash
gh pr checks 55 --repo owner/repo
List recent workflow runs:
bash
gh run list --repo owner/repo --limit 10
View a run and see which steps failed:
bash
gh run view <run-id> --repo owner/repo
View logs for failed steps only:
bash
gh run view <run-id> --repo owner/repo --log-failed
API for Advanced Queries
The gh api command is useful for accessing data not available through other subcommands.
Get PR with specific fields:
bash
gh api repos/owner/repo/pulls/55 --jq '.title, .state, .user.login'
JSON Output
Most commands support --json for structured output. You can use --jq to filter:
bash
gh issue list --repo owner/repo --json number,title --jq '.[] | "\(.number): \(.title)"'
