Source documentation, not instructions for this website. Review permissions before running any commands.
GitHub CLI (gh) Skill
Interact with GitHub using the gh command line tool.
Run commands with Bub's bash tool, setting cwd to the target checkout when using local repository context. If it returns a running shell ID, collect the result with bash.output before retrying the command.
Prerequisites
Use the authentication source specified by the user or workspace. For github.com, GH_TOKEN takes precedence over GITHUB_TOKEN, and both override stored gh credentials.
Check authentication:
gh auth status
If not authenticated, report the blocker; do not silently switch credentials. Run interactive login only when the user requests authentication setup:
gh auth login
Repository Operations
gh repo create <name> [--public|--private]
gh repo clone <owner/repo>
gh repo fork <owner/repo>
gh repo view [owner/repo]
gh repo list [owner]
Issue Operations
gh issue create --title "Title" --body "Body"
gh issue list [--state open|closed]
gh issue view <number>
gh issue close <number>
gh issue comment <number> --body "Comment"
Pull Request Operations
gh pr create --title "Title" --body "Body"
gh pr list [--state open|closed]
gh pr view <number>
gh pr checkout <number>
gh pr merge <number>
gh pr review <number> --approve
Release Operations
gh release create <tag> --generate-notes
gh release list
gh release download <tag>
gh release upload <tag> <file>
Workflow Operations
gh workflow list
gh workflow run <name>
gh run list
gh run view <run-id>
gh run watch <run-id>
Gist Operations
gh gist create <file>
gh gist list
gh gist view <id>
Skill Operations
gh skill search <query>
gh skill preview <owner/repo> <skill>
gh skill install <owner/repo> <skill> --dir .agents/skills
gh skill list --dir .agents/skills
gh skill update <skill> --dir .agents/skills --dry-run
gh skill update <skill> --dir .agents/skills --all
gh skill is in preview; check gh skill --help for availability. Run project-scoped commands from Bub's workspace and use --dir .agents/skills; use --dir "$HOME/.agents/skills" for user-scoped skills. Keep gh's source-tracking metadata so installed skills can be updated.
Tips
- Use --web to open in browser
- Use -R owner/repo to specify repository
- Use --json with --jq for scripting
- Use
GH_PROMPT_DISABLED=1and supply required flags for unattended execution. - Write issue, PR, and comment body files as UTF-8 Markdown with real newlines. Pass them with
--body-file, or use--body-file -with a quoted heredoc to preserve shell-sensitive text. - Use an explicit
--headwithgh pr createto avoid implicit pushes or forks; the head branch must already exist remotely.

Skill source recorded
Skill instructions are recorded. This is not a runtime test, safety guarantee or compatibility certification.
Review before install: Avoid automatic install
License: Apache-2.0
- Dependency or permission surface needs review
- Permission surface may require sandboxing
- AI review approval is missing
- Quality score needs review
- Permission surface needs review: secrets or environment access, shell or command execution
- Dependency/runtime risk: command execution surface, credential or environment access
- Permission surface: secrets or environment access, shell or command execution

Listed tools are metadata hints, not tested compatibility. Agent prompts are suggested handoffs.
Start with one small task
- 1Read the source. Confirm the input, expected output, dependencies and permissions.
- 2Ask your agent for a plan. Approve setup and any costs before running a small isolated test.
- 3Check the output and changed files. Report only what actually ran; keep the source revision for reproduction.
Check the source for dependencies, API keys and third-party costs. A public repository does not mean every service is free.
