License

a license file GitHub does not identify

GitHub operations via `gh` CLI: issues, PRs, CI runs, code review, API queries. Use when: (1) checking PR status or CI, (2) creating/commenting on issues, (3) listing/filtering PRs or issues, (4) viewing run logs. NOT for: complex web UI interactions requiring manual browser flows (use browser tooling when available), bulk operations across many repos (script with gh api), or when gh auth is not configured.

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 Skill

Use the `gh` CLI to interact with GitHub repositories, issues, PRs, and CI.

## When to Use

✅ **USE this skill when:**

- Checking PR status, reviews, or merge readiness
- Viewing CI/workflow run status and logs
- Creating, closing, or commenting on issues
- Creating or merging pull requests
- Querying GitHub API for repository data
- Listing repos, releases, or collaborators

## When NOT to Use

❌ **DON'T use this skill when:**

- Local git operations (commit, push, pull, branch) → use `git` directly
- Non-GitHub repos (GitLab, Bitbucket, self-hosted) → different CLIs
- Cloning repositories → use `git clone`
- Reviewing actual code changes → use `coding-agent` skill
- Complex multi-file diffs → use `coding-agent` or read files directly
