Skill2 starsChanged 7 months agoMITView on GitHub

Use GitHub CLI, `gh`, for authentication, repository work, issues, pull requests, releases, Actions, projects, and `gh api` calls. Use this skill whenever the user mentions `gh`, `gh pr`, `gh issue`, `gh repo`, `gh run`, `gh workflow`, `gh auth`, wants a GitHub CLI command example, needs to script GitHub operations, or wants to translate GitHub UI steps into terminal commands.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

2 rules. 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 19 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 0

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 2

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Very specific:

    Check active context: gh auth status

    line 16
  2. Very specific:

    Prefer --json, --jq, or --template for scripts

    line 74

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 19 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

GitHub CLI

GitHub CLI is the fastest way to work with GitHub from a terminal.

Start Here

  • Authenticate first: gh auth login
  • Check active context: gh auth status
  • Target another repo when needed: -R OWNER/REPO
  • Get command help anytime: gh <command> --help

Common Workflow

gh auth login
gh repo clone OWNER/REPO
gh issue list
gh pr create --fill
gh run watch

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
