GitHub CLI (gh) Skill

Interact with GitHub using the gh command line tool.

Run commands with Bub's bash tool, setting cwd to the target checkout when using local repository context. If it returns a running shell ID, collect the result with bash.output before retrying the command.

Prerequisites

Use the authentication source specified by the user or workspace. For github.com, GH_TOKEN takes precedence over GITHUB_TOKEN, and both override stored gh credentials.

Check authentication:

gh auth status

If not authenticated, report the blocker; do not silently switch credentials. Run interactive login only when the user requests authentication setup:

gh auth login

Repository Operations

gh repo create <name> [--public|--private]
gh repo clone <owner/repo>
gh repo fork <owner/repo>
gh repo view [owner/repo]
gh repo list [owner]

Issue Operations

gh issue create --title "Title" --body "Body"
gh issue list [--state open|closed]
gh issue view <number>
gh issue close <number>
gh issue comment <number> --body "Comment"

Pull Request Operations

gh pr create --title "Title" --body "Body"
gh pr list [--state open|closed]
gh pr view <number>
gh pr checkout <number>
gh pr merge <number>
gh pr review <number> --approve

Release Operations

gh release create <tag> --generate-notes
gh release list
gh release download <tag>
gh release upload <tag> <file>

Workflow Operations

gh workflow list
gh workflow run <name>
gh run list
gh run view <run-id>
gh run watch <run-id>

Gist Operations

gh gist create <file>
gh gist list
gh gist view <id>

Skill Operations

gh skill search <query>
gh skill preview <owner/repo> <skill>
gh skill install <owner/repo> <skill> --dir .agents/skills
gh skill list --dir .agents/skills
gh skill update <skill> --dir .agents/skills --dry-run
gh skill update <skill> --dir .agents/skills --all

gh skill is in preview; check gh skill --help for availability. Run project-scoped commands from Bub's workspace and use --dir .agents/skills; use --dir "$HOME/.agents/skills" for user-scoped skills. Keep gh's source-tracking metadata so installed skills can be updated.

Tips

  • Use --web to open in browser
  • Use -R owner/repo to specify repository
  • Use --json with --jq for scripting
  • Use GH_PROMPT_DISABLED=1 and supply required flags for unattended execution.
  • Write issue, PR, and comment body files as UTF-8 Markdown with real newlines. Pass them with --body-file, or use --body-file - with a quoted heredoc to preserve shell-sensitive text.
  • Use an explicit --head with gh pr create to avoid implicit pushes or forks; the head branch must already exist remotely.

Telegram Bot skill for sending and editing Telegram messages via Bot API. Use when Bub needs to: (1) Send a message to a Telegram user/group/channel, (2) Reply to a specific Telegram message with reply_to_message_id, (3) Edit an existing Telegram message, or (4) Push proactive Telegram notifications. Prefer rich formatted messages (headings, lists, tables, blockquotes, math, collapsible details, captioned media) over plain markdown whenever the content is more than one short paragraph.
