/github-cli pr checks
```
**Merge PR:**
```
/github-cli pr merge

## Instructions
### Step 1: Validate Environment
```bash
# Check gh is installed
gh --version
# Check gh is authenticated
gh auth status
```
If not installed, report: "Install gh CLI: https://cli.github.com"
If not authenticated, report: "Run: gh auth login"
### Step 2: Parse and Execute
Parse `$ARGUMENTS` and pass directly to `gh`:
```bash
gh $ARGUMENTS
```
### Step 3: Report Result
Show `gh` output directly to user.
## Examples
```bash
# View PR status
/github-cli pr status
# View PR checks (CI status)
/github-cli pr checks
# Merge current PR
/github-cli pr merge
# List open PRs
/github-cli pr list
# View PR in browser
/github-cli pr view --web
# List issues

# View repo info
