github-ops
Operates GitHub via gh CLI and REST/GraphQL — PRs, issues, Actions, self-hosted Runner inventory/capacity, repos, collaborators, org permissions, 2FA — with explicit target, authorization, and independent readback. Use when a write reports success but state didn't change, or choosing gh/REST/GraphQL/UI-only. Not for local Git recovery (use git-safety-net), maintainer PR review (use github-review-pr), or upstream contribution (use github-contributor).
Why this skill is useful
Adds specific commands and workflows for managing GitHub operations that the AI wouldn't reliably generate on its own.
What it needs
Requires gh installed locally. Requires github account access. About 9k tokens when loaded. Last updated 2026-08-07. 1,320 stars on the source repository.
What this skill does
GitHub Operations Deliver the requested GitHub state, not a successful-looking command. A 200, 201, 202, or 204 response is evidence that GitHub accepted a request; it is not proof that every requested field changed, an invitation was accepted, an asynchronous job finished, or the user's business outcome was achieved. Route by operation Read only the reference required for the task: Task Reference --- --- Create, review, merge, close, compare, or converge PRs; clear approved PR body revisions; retire remote PR branches references/properations.md Create, edit, search, transfer, close, or bulk-manage issues references/issueoperations.md Inspect, clone, create, edit, rename, archive, transfer, change visibility, or delete repositories references/repositoryoperations.md Copy repositories accessible to another account while keeping the usual account active; configure private copies and upstream sync references/multiaccountrepositorysync.md Inspect or change collaborators, teams, base permissions, member privileges, or organization 2FA references/organizationaccessandsettings.md Protect a default branch while letting collaborators contribute through PRs; inventory protection gaps across an account, roll a baseline out to many repositories, and verify enforcement with a real push references/branchprotection.md Trigger, inspect, approve a reviewed fork run, rerun, cancel, or purge Actions; diagnose missing checks; manage secrets or variables references/workflowoperations.md Reduce CI email overload, exhausted Actions allowance, unrelated checks or repeated runs; decide what a template or product actually needs references/ci-demand-and-notifications.md before changing runners or notifications Build and publish a Docker/OCI image to GitHub Container Registry (GHCR) references/ghcrpublishing.md Use raw REST/GraphQL endpoints, pagination, rate limits, webhooks, or Enterprise hosts references/apireference.md Build scripts, retries, bulk operations, or machine-readable output ref …
