What it does

Gives Claude a curated playbook of gh CLI commands plus GitHub REST/GraphQL API usage so you can drive GitHub in plain language.

  • Pull requests: create, view, review/approve, comment, check CI status, squash merge
  • Issues: create, label and assign, advanced filtering, bulk updates, close
  • Actions: list and trigger workflows, watch runs, download artifacts
  • API: direct REST calls via gh api, GraphQL for multi-resource queries
  • Output control: --json, --template and jq patterns for scripting
  • Deep detail lives in five references/ docs (PR, issue, workflow, API, best practices) loaded only on demand.

Who it's for

  • Developers who live in PRs and issues and want fewer browser round trips
  • Anyone who wants to debug failing CI straight from the terminal
  • Teams automating repetitive housekeeping across many repositories
  • Engineers on GitHub Enterprise needing custom host authentication

Examples

  1. "Open a PR from my current branch and summarize the diff in the body" → runs gh pr create with generated title and description
  2. "Show me open PRs whose checks are failing" → gh pr list --json piped through jq for filtering
  3. "Label bug issues untouched for 30+ days as stale" → API query followed by batched gh issue edit calls

Copy the github-ops folder from the GitHub repo daymade/claude-code-skills into my ~/.claude/skills/github-ops/.
When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.

Install with a command instead

git clone https://github.com/daymade/claude-code-skills.git /tmp/ccs && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r /tmp/ccs/github-ops ~/.claude/skills/

⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.
