GitHub work via gh CLI: PRs, review conversations, CI failures, repo state. Use when inspecting a PR, reading a review (bodies, comments, inline threads), debugging CI (finding which run failed, why a check or Actions run is red, reading job logs), or composing non-trivial gh commands. Scripts cover what raw gh can't do (thread resolution state) or reliably fumbles (PR snapshots, CI log drilldown); use raw gh directly for everything else.

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

# better-github-skill

Raw `gh` first when you know the command; the scripts replace only the flows
agents repeatedly get wrong. Scripts run TS directly (node ≥ 23.6), no deps.

## Scripts

| script | use for |
|---|---|
| `scripts/pr-snapshot.ts [pr] [-R o/r]` | full PR state in one call: meta, mergeability, checks, files, reviews, comments, thread counts. Use instead of hand-assembling `pr view --json` field sets or chaining view/checks/comments calls. |
| `scripts/pr-threads.ts [pr] [-R o/r] [--all] [--author X] [--since ISO]` | the full review conversation: review bodies, issue comments, and unresolved inline threads (resolution state porcelain gh cannot get). Resolved/outdated threads are hidden by default, counted in the header; `--all` includes them. Read-only: never reply to or resolve threads unless explicitly told to. |
| `scripts/ci-failures.ts [run-id] [--pr N] [--list] [-R o/r]` | failing checks → failing jobs/steps → log snippet each; full logs saved to files (paths printed); rg those instead of re-fetching. `--list [--workflow W] [-L n]` shows recent runs with conclusions; use it to find the failing run id instead of `gh run list --json` field sets. |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add avgvstvs96/better-github-skill/better-github-skill@sha256:c1ec26297997721d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260811.48b2ea5, 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.
