Instructions

Step 1: Validate Environment

# Check gh is installed
gh --version

# Check gh is authenticated
gh auth status

If not installed, report: "Install gh CLI: https://cli.github.com" If not authenticated, report: "Run: gh auth login"

Step 2: Parse and Execute

Parse `$ARGUMENTS` and pass directly to `gh`:

gh $ARGUMENTS

Step 3: Report Result

Show `gh` output directly to user.
