Usage Examples

Create a bug report issue:

gh issue create \
  --title "Fix: null pointer in auth flow" \
  --body "Steps to reproduce: ..." \
  --label "bug" \
  --assignee "@me"

Check CI status for latest PR:

gh pr list --limit 1
gh pr checks 

Review a PR and request changes:

gh pr view 42
gh pr review 42 --request-changes --body "Please add tests for the edge case on line 87."

Trigger a manual workflow dispatch:

gh workflow run deploy.yml --field environment=staging

Rules

• Always check if CLI is installed and authenticated: gh auth status
• If not installed, show brew install gh && gh auth login and stop
• If not authenticated, show gh auth login and stop
• Default to the current repo (detected from git remote) unless user specifies ``
• When listing issues/PRs, show number, title, author, and date — limit to 10 by default
• When viewing PR diffs, truncate at 100 lines and save full diff to workspace/pr-.diff
• NEVER approve or merge a PR without the user explicitly confirming
• For code review, summarize the diff first, then provide specific line-level feedback
• Keep responses concise: action confirmation in 1-2 lines, details in collapsible sections when possible
