SKILL.md

Working with GitHub CLI

Use the gh CLI tool via the Bash tool for all GitHub operations.

Authentication & Account Issues

IMPORTANT: If you encounter "repository not found" or authentication errors:

  1. Check authentication status:

    bash
    gh auth status

  2. If multiple accounts are configured, try switching accounts:

    bash
    gh auth switch

  3. If not authenticated, prompt user to run:

    bash
    gh auth login

Commands & Usage

See @common-commands.md for detailed command reference, examples, and common operations.

Best Practices

  • Use gh commands instead of git+web workflows when possible
  • Always check gh <command> --help for options
  • Use --json flag for machine-readable output when parsing
  • Use heredoc for multiline bodies (PR descriptions, issue bodies)
