GitHub CLI operations via `gh` for issues, PRs, Actions, releases, and REST/GraphQL API with `--json`/`--jq` parsing. Triggers on: "create an issue", "submit a PR", "check CI status", "why did CI fail", "merge a PR", or pasted GitHub URLs.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# GitHub

All GitHub operations use the `gh` CLI. Prefer `--json` with `--jq` for structured,
parseable output. Use `--repo owner/repo` when not inside a git repository with a
configured remote. Use `--web` to open any resource in the browser.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add mathews-tom/armory/github@sha256:dcbf658e9acb9b26

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
