Python Fallback

When

gh

is not installed or for custom logic:

python {skill_path}/gh.py <command> [options]

```
repos <user>
```
— list user's public repositories
```
repo <owner/repo>
```
— get repository details
```
issues <owner/repo>
```
— list open issues

create-issue <owner/repo> --title "..." --body "..."

— create an issue

```
prs <owner/repo>
```
— list open pull requests
```
pr <owner/repo> <number>
```
— get PR details

Notes

Prefer
```
gh
```
CLI for standard operations; it handles auth, pagination, and output formatting
Use
```
{skill_path}/gh.py
```
when you need Python-specific behavior or gh is unavailable
For CI runs,
```
gh run list
```
and
```
gh run view
```
show Actions workflow status
