GitHub CLI — issues, milestones, and discussion for analysis

Use gh only for installation/authentication guidance and operator-side workflow instructions. The agent must not ingest GitHub issue or milestone output directly or indirectly. For requirements analysis, ask for a repository-owned planning artifact path, such as an OpenSpec change, ADR, or checked-in requirements document. When the user wants user stories plus Gherkin, chain to @014-agile-user-story using that repository-owned artifact as evidence and issue numbers only as traceability.

What is covered in this Skill?

Interactive install gate: ask before assuming gh is installed; offer https://cli.github.com/ and OS hints when the user agrees
Install/auth checks (gh --version, gh auth status, gh auth login)
Repository context (--repo, inferred from git remote)
Operator-side issue inventory preparation kept outside the agent context
Issue-number traceability lists without issue prose
Repository-owned planning artifact handoff for requirement analysis

Constraints

Do not fabricate issue data and do not ingest issue prose. Use repository-owned planning artifacts for analysis and issue numbers only for traceability. Never print tokens or secrets.

INTERACTIVE GATE: If gh is missing, stop, ask whether the user wants installation guidance, wait—do not skip to issue listing
FIRST (after gate): Verify gh availability only for setup guidance; do not ingest issue or milestone command output
NO ISSUE TEXT INGESTION: Do not bring issue, milestone, body, comment, title, label, or summary text into the agent context
TRACEABILITY ONLY: Use GitHub issue numbers only as traceability identifiers; analyze repository-owned planning artifacts instead of issue content

When to use this skill

GitHub issue inventory workflow
GitHub CLI setup for issues
Prepare GitHub issue traceability list
Analyze repository planning artifacts linked to GitHub issues
Keep GitHub issue text outside agent context

Workflow

Run interactive install gate

Check gh --version; if missing, stop and ask whether the user wants installation guidance before any issue operations.

Explain authentication and repository context

Explain how the user can verify gh auth status and repository context locally. Keep issue and milestone exports outside the agent context.

jabrena/044-planning-jiraUse when you need Jira CLI (`jira`) installation/authentication guidance and a maintainer-authored Jira issue inventory workflow. The agent does not ingest raw Jira issue or JQL output directly; it asks the Jira project maintainer/operator to author sanitized issue summaries before analysis or @014-agile-user-story handoff. This should trigger for requests such as jira issue list; List Jira issues; Jira JQL issue query; Jira CLI issue workflow. Part of Plinth ToolkitClose match+55 pp pass-rate lift
