Query GitHub repositories for PRs and issues using gh CLI with date filtering and structured output.
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 CLI Query Skill
## Overview
Use the `gh` CLI tool to efficiently query GitHub pull requests and issues with filtering, date range support, and structured JSON output.
## Installation & Setup
```bash
# gh CLI is typically pre-installed on most systems
gh --version
# Ensure you're authenticated
gh auth status
# If not authenticated
gh auth login
```
## Basic Patterns
### Query Pull Requests by Date Range
```bash
# List PRs created in December 2024 with JSON output
gh pr list --repo cli/cli --state all --created "2024-12-01..2024-12-31" --json number,title,createdAt,mergedAt,closedAt,author --limit 500
# Key fields in JSON output:
# - number: PR number
# - title: PR title
# - createdAt: when PR was created (ISO 8601)
# - mergedAt: when PR was merged (null if not merged)
# - closedAt: when PR was closed (null if still open)
# - author: {login: string, name: string}
```
### Query Issues by Date Range
```bash
# List issues created in December 2024
gh issue list --repo cli/cli --state all --created "2024-12-01..2024-12-31" --json number,title,createdAt,closedAt,labels --limit 500
# Key fields:
# - number: issue number
# - title: issue title

How to install
mdr add cxcscmu/skilllearnbench/github-cli-queries@sha256:1e7fbcf4b838ba3cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260424.d50cf5a, 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.
