# GitHub
## Which reference
- Creating or editing an issue, its labels or its Done-when boxes: read [issues](references/issues.md).
- Writing a workflow, dispatching or waiting on runs, many agents calling GitHub, or a rate-limit refusal: read [actions](references/actions.md).
## Shared rules
- Read the repository's instructions before writing to it, because each repository sets its own labels, templates and CI shape.
- Spend API calls and Actions jobs as a shared budget, because one account serves every repository and agent.
- Read back what you wrote (issue, label, run state), because a successful `gh` exit does not show the remote result.
- Use `gh --help` and its subcommand help for flags, because they track the installed version.
