Install the GitHub CLI (gh) if not already installed

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

3 rules. About 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 3 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈0

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 3

    Very specific

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

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

    Before using any gh commands, check if gh is installed by running:

    line 10
  2. Very specific:

    If gh is not found, install it based on the operating system:

    line 16
  3. Very specific:

    If the user needs notifications access, ensure the token has the notifications scope:

    line 44

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “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.

Install GitHub CLI

Before using any gh commands, check if gh is installed by running:

gh --version

If gh is not found, install it based on the operating system:

macOS

brew install gh

Linux (Debian/Ubuntu)

(type -p wget >/dev/null || (sudo apt update && sudo apt-get install wget -y)) && sudo mkdir -p -m 755 /etc/apt/keyrings && out=$(mktemp) && wget -nv -O$out https://cli.github.com/packages/githubcli-archive-keyring.gpg && cat $out | sudo tee /etc/apt/keyrings/githubcli-archive-keyring.gpg > /dev/null && sudo chmod go+r /etc/apt/keyrings/githubcli-archive-keyring.gpg && echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/githubcli-archive-keyring.gpg] https://cli.github.com/packages stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/github-cli.list > /dev/null && sudo apt update && sudo apt install gh -y

Windows

winget install --id GitHub.cli

After installation

Authenticate with GitHub:

gh auth login

If the user needs notifications access, ensure the token has the notifications scope:

gh auth refresh -s notifications

Disable the pager to prevent terminal buffer issues:

gh config set pager cat

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.
