GitHub CLI Integration

Purpose

The GitHub CLI skill provides comprehensive repository management capabilities through the gh command-line tool. It enables developers and ClawdBot instances to automate GitHub workflows, manage issues and pull requests, review code, handle releases, monitor repository activity, and interact with GitHub Actions—all without leaving the terminal or Claude Code interface.

This skill bridges the gap between local development workflows and GitHub's web interface, allowing for programmatic control and automation of common repository operations.
