Automate GitHub CLI operations for repositories, workflows, search, Codespaces, releases, and configuration.
Use for GitHub CLI automation: repository reads, workflow runs, search, codespaces, releases, configuration, or gh command syntax. Use yeet for contribution writes to PRs, issues, comments, or discussions.

# GitHub CLI

This skill is coordination-exempt: skip the ai-coord gate for its declared work.

## Routing

Use `yeet` to author or update a pull request, issue, issue comment, or discussion. `yeet` owns semantic analysis,
repository templates, Paul's writing voice, idempotency, and direct posting. Route repository renames through
`repo-rename` so GitHub and local continuity change together.

## Authority

- Read and inspect without confirmation.
- Execute reversible or ordinary GitHub writes only when the user explicitly requested that outcome.
- Never delete repositories, releases/assets, workflow runs/caches, secrets/variables, keys, codespaces, extensions, or
  gists.
- Label deletion is the sole destructive exception: show the target repo, exact labels, commands, and issue/PR impact,
  then require approval in a subsequent message before `gh label delete ... --yes`.

## Workflow

1. Resolve the repository explicitly when cwd is ambiguous. Let the first required read-only command validate
   authentication; run `gh auth status` only for auth diagnosis.

2. Use installed `gh <command> <subcommand> --help` to resolve flags, JSON fields, and command behavior; CLI JSON field
   names can differ from API fields. Prefer `--json` with `--jq` for structured output.

3. Preview broad writes with the repository, exact targets, commands, and issue/PR impact. An already requested ordinary
   write does not require a second approval.

## Notable Flags (gh 2.98+)

- `gh pr checkout --worktree <path>` and `gh issue develop --checkout --worktree <path>` check out into a linked git
  worktree instead of switching the current branch.
- `gh search issues --search-type semantic|hybrid` ranks by relevance: issues only, one page, no `--sort`/`--order`, not
  on GitHub Enterprise Server.
- `gh config set api_host <gateway> --host <host>` routes that host's API traffic through a gateway; experimental and
  not a security boundary.
- `--attach '<file>#<alt>'` on issue/PR create, edit, and comment uploads images or videos; route those writes through
  `yeet`.

## Completion

Complete when command output verifies the requested GitHub data or state. After a write, fetch the resulting resource.
On a partial or ambiguous failure, check whether it changed before retrying. Report the verified state and URL or stable
identifier; include the concrete error and next action when incomplete, and distinguish an unknown result from a
confirmed failure.
