# GitHub Skill Use the `gh` CLI to interact with GitHub. Always specify `--repo owner/repo` when not in a git directory, or use URLs directly. ## Pull Requests Check CI status on a PR: ```bash gh pr checks 55 --repo owner/repo ``` List recent workflow runs: ```bash gh run list --repo owner/repo --limit 10 ``` View a run and see which steps failed: ```bash gh run view <run-id> --repo owner/repo ``` View logs for failed steps only: ```bash gh run view <run-id> --repo owner/repo --log-failed ``` ## API for Advanced Queries The `gh api` command is useful for accessing data not available through other subcommands. Get PR with specific fields: ```bash gh api repos/owner/repo/pulls/55 --jq '.title, .state, .user.login' ``` ## JSON Output Most commands support `--json` for structured output. You can use `--jq` to filter: ```bash gh issue list --repo owner/repo --json number,title --jq '.[] | "\(.number): \(.title)"' ```
