GitHub

Use this skill for GitHub-native repo operations, not for coding itself.

Work the repo from live state

Start from current evidence:

• repository and owner/repo name
• current branch or target PR
• review state and requested reviewers
• required checks, failing checks, and branch-protection implications
• linked issues, milestones, releases, and labels
• the decision needed: inspect, summarize, unblock, merge, tag, or coordinate

Prefer gh and GitHub API data over guesswork.
