# GitHub CLI (gh)

## When to Use This Skill

Use `gh` for GitHub repositories. To detect GitHub:
```bash
git remote -v | grep -i github.com
```

If the remote contains `github.com`, use this skill.

## Before Any Operation

Always verify authentication first:
```bash
gh auth status
```

If not authenticated, guide the user to run `gh auth login`.

## Behavioral Guidelines

1. **Creating PRs**: Always check for uncommitted changes first with `git status`
2. **Viewing PRs/Issues**: Use `--comments` flag when user wants full context
3. **CI Operations**: Check `gh run list` before triggering new workflows
4. **Use `--web`**: When the user might benefit from the browser UI
5. **PR descriptions**: Use HEREDOC for multi-line bodies to preserve formatting
