At a glance
Reference for the gh command line tool covering repositories, issues, pull requests, Actions, releases, gists and codespaces, with install and login steps.
- Works in 5 steps: Authentication: Use environment… → Default Repository: Set default to avoid… → JSON Parsing: Use jq for complex data… → …
- Creating, forking or syncing repositories from the terminal
- SKILL.md covers Prerequisites, CLI Structure, Configuration and Authentication (gh auth), plus 2 more sections
- Calls gh, git and apt; reaches cli.github.com and github.com; needs GH_TOKEN
What it does
This skill is a long command reference for the GitHub CLI, written against version 2.85.0. It opens with installation, signing in through gh auth login, and setting up gh as the git credential helper, then lays out the whole command tree along with global configuration and environment variables such as GH_TOKEN.
Each command family gets its own section of ready-to-run examples. The repository section alone covers create, clone, list, view, edit, delete, fork and sync, and there are separate sections for browsing and for switching accounts or refreshing tokens. By its description, the rest extends to issues, pull requests, Actions, projects, releases, gists, codespaces, organizations and extensions. It includes destructive commands such as gh repo delete, so check what the agent is about to run.
When your agent uses it
- Creating, forking or syncing repositories from the terminal
- Opening, listing or merging pull requests without leaving the shell
- Setting up gh authentication and git credentials on a new machine
- Looking up the right gh subcommand and flags for a GitHub task
Example prompts
- “Fork the upstream repo, clone it and sync the fork with gh.”
- “List my open pull requests across the organization using the GitHub CLI.”
- “Log me into GitHub with gh and set it up as the git credential helper.”
- “Switch the active gh account to my work login and confirm with auth status.”
Requirements
- The GitHub CLI (`gh`) installed
- A GitHub account, signed in with `gh auth login` or a GH_TOKEN token
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Authentication: Use environment variables for automation
- Default Repository: Set default to avoid repetition
- JSON Parsing: Use jq for complex data extraction
- Pagination: Use --paginate for large result sets
- Caching: Use cache control for frequently accessed data
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ed19717. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
ghgitaptbrewcurlwinget
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
cli.github.comgithub.com
Also links to:
docs.github.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
GH_TOKEN
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
GitHub CLI Reference loads about 9.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 53 tokens; SKILL.md has 406 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check: warnings
The automated check found patterns that need a careful read before installing.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 406 words (~9,754 tokens).
“Comprehensive reference for GitHub CLI (gh) - work seamlessly with GitHub from the command line.”
