Claude-skill-registry github-cli

Advanced GitHub CLI workflows for PR review, CI/CD debugging, Actions management, API queries, and code search. Use when the user needs to review PRs, debug failing checks, manage workflows, search across repos, or make complex gh API calls. Not needed for basic gh commands the agent already knows.

gh pr diff 123
gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/123/comments

Actions / Workflows

# List runs (optionally filter by workflow)
gh run list
gh run list --workflow build.yml

# Inspect a run
gh run view 12345
gh run view 12345 --log

# Re-run failures
gh run rerun 12345 --failed

# Watch a running workflow
gh run watch 12345

API Access

# REST

gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues --method POST --field title="New issue" --field body="Description"

# GraphQL
gh api graphql -f query='{ viewer { login } }'

# Pagination
gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls --paginate

Search

gh search code "function_name" --repo owner/repo
gh search issues "bug" --repo owner/repo --state open
gh search prs "feature" --repo owner/repo --state open

Tips

Use

--json

flag with

--jq

for structured output:

gh pr list --json number,title --jq '.[].title'

Use
```
--web
```
to open any resource in your browser
Set
```
GH_REPO
```
environment variable to avoid specifying
```
--repo
```
each time
Use
```
gh alias set
```
to create custom shortcuts
GitHub CLI respects
```
GITHUB_TOKEN
```
environment variable for authentication
