github
Use the `gh` CLI for issues, pull requests, Actions runs, and GitHub API queries.
npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill github --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# 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. ## When to Use - When the user asks about GitHub issues, pull requests, workflow runs, or CI failures. - When you need `gh issue`, `gh pr`, `gh run`, or `gh api` from the command line. ## 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 ``` ### Debugging a CI Failure Follow this sequence to investigate a failing CI run: 1. **Check PR status** — identify which checks are failing: ```bash gh pr checks 55 --repo owner/repo ``` 2. **List recent runs** — find the relevant run ID: ```bash gh run list --repo owner/repo --limit 10 ``` 3. **View the failed run** — see which jobs and steps failed: ```bash gh run view <run-id> --repo owner/repo ``` 4. **Fetch failure logs** — get the detailed output for failed steps: ```bash gh run view <run-id> --repo owner/

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill github --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
