gh-cli

This skill should be used when working with GitHub CLI (gh) for workflow debugging, PR management, release automation, and repo operations beyond basic git commands. Use when: "gh CLI", "gh run list", "gh pr", "debug CI run", "failed workflow run", "why did CI fail", "PR review queue", "merge PRs", "create release", "repo health check", "bulk issue operations", "workflow runs"

GitHub CLI Power Utilities

Intelligent wrappers and patterns for GitHub CLI that go beyond basic commands.

When to Use

Debugging failed GitHub Actions (get actionable errors, not walls of logs)
Managing PRs across multiple repos
Automating releases with proper changelogs
Bulk operations on issues/PRs
Repository health checks

Prerequisites

brew install gh && gh auth login  # macOS

Core Capabilities

1. Smart Failure Analysis

Don't wade through logs - get the actual errors.

# Get actionable error summary
sh "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/_python.sh" "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/platform/gh-cli/scripts/gh_ops.py" diagnose

# Specific repo
sh "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/_python.sh" "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/platform/gh-cli/scripts/gh_ops.py" diagnose --repo owner/repo

# With suggested fixes
sh "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/_python.sh" "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/platform/gh-cli/scripts/gh_ops.py" diagnose --suggest-fixes

Output: Structured error summary with job timelines, extracted failures, and fix suggestions based on common patterns.

2. PR Operations

Bulk PR management that scales.

# List PRs needing review across your repos
sh "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/_python.sh" "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/platform/gh-cli/scripts/gh_ops.py" pr-review-queue

# Merge all approved PRs (with safety checks)
sh "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/_python.sh" "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/platform/gh-cli/scripts/gh_ops.py" pr-merge-ready --dry-run

# PR health check (conflicts, checks, reviews)
sh "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/_python.sh" "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/platform/gh-cli/scripts/gh_ops.py" pr-status 123

3. Release Automation

Generate releases with proper changelogs.

# Create release from unreleased commits
sh "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/_python.sh" "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/platform/gh-cli/scripts/gh_ops.py" release --bump minor

# Preview changelog without releasing
sh "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/_python.sh" "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/platform/gh-cli/scripts/gh_ops.py" release --dry-run

# Release with custom notes
sh "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/_python.sh" "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/platform/gh-cli/scripts/gh_ops.py" release --notes "Breaking: API v2"

4. Repo Health

Quick health check for repositories.

sh "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/_python.sh" "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/platform/gh-cli/scripts/gh_ops.py" health

Checks: Branch protection, required reviews, CI status, security advisories, dependency alerts.

Quick Patterns

# Watch CI and notify on completion
gh run watch && osascript -e 'display notification "CI Done"'

# Open PR for current branch
gh pr create --fill --web

# Checkout PR locally
gh pr checkout 123

# View PR diff in terminal
gh pr diff 123

# Re-run failed jobs only
gh run rerun --failed

# List your open PRs across all repos
gh search prs --author=@me --state=open

Integration with Other Tools

Works well with:

wicked-garden:search: Find code patterns, then use gh to create issues
Native tasks: Track PR status alongside tasks via TaskUpdate description appends
