GitHub Contribution Workflow

The gh-CLI contribution loop for an agent acting on a GitHub repo: branch → commit → PR → CI → merge, plus issues, GitHub-side file ops, repo secrets, and contribution-flow repo settings. Encodes conventions that keep an agent's contributions reviewable and consistent. Tool-agnostic in spirit; concrete commands are gh + git.

Native mechanism

Claude Code's Hooks can intercept and block a tool call before it runs — e.g. a PreToolUse hook matching Bash can deny a git push --force or a bare rm -rf. Hooks enforce a hard gate at the tool layer; the --no-verify rule and CLEAN-before-merge convention below are conventions this skill asks the agent to follow voluntarily where no hook exists to enforce them.
