Context

• Session ID: !`gdate +%s%N`
• Current directory: !`pwd`
• Git repository: !`git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree 2>/dev/null && echo "Yes" || echo "No"`
• Repository info: !`gh repo view --json owner,name,url 2>/dev/null | jq -r '.owner.login + "/" + .name + " (" + .url + ")' 2>/dev/null || echo "Not in GitHub repository"`
• GitHub CLI status: !`gh auth status 2>/dev/null | head -1 || echo "Not authenticated"`
• Current branch: !`git branch --show-current 2>/dev/null || echo "No git repository"`
• Open PRs: !`gh pr list --json number,title --limit 3 2>/dev/null | jq -r '.[] | "#" + (.number | tostring) + ": " + .title' 2>/dev/null || echo "No open PRs or no access"`
• Open issues: !`gh issue list --json number,title --limit 3 2>/dev/null | jq -r '.[] | "#" + (.number | tostring) + ": " + .title' 2>/dev/null || echo "No open issues or no access"`
• Recent commits: !`git log --oneline -5 2>/dev/null || echo "No git history"`

Your Task

STEP 1: Initialize GitHub CLI context analysis session

• CREATE session state file: `/tmp/gh-cli-context-$SESSION_ID.json`
• SET initial state:

  {
    "sessionId": "$SESSION_ID",
    "timestamp": "$(date -Iseconds)",
    "repositoryContext": {
      "isGitRepo": "auto-detect",
      "repoInfo": "auto-detect",
      "currentBranch": "auto-detect",
      "hasOpenPRs": "auto-detect",
      "hasOpenIssues": "auto-detect"
    },
    "githubCliStatus": {
      "isInstalled": "auto-detect",
      "isAuthenticated": "auto-detect",
      "authenticatedUser": "auto-detect"
    },
    "loadedSections": [],
    "contextualExamples": {},
    "workflowPatterns": []
  }

• ANALYZE current GitHub and repository context from Context section

STEP 2: GitHub CLI environment validation and setup

TRY:

• VERIFY GitHub CLI installation and authentication status
• DETECT current repository context and permissions
• IDENTIFY available GitHub operations based on authentication level
• ASSESS repository-specific workflow patterns

CATCH (github_cli_not_available):

• LOG GitHub CLI installation status to session state
• PROVIDE installation guidance for missing CLI
• INCLUDE authentication setup instructions
• SAVE fallback web-based GitHub operation guidance

STEP 3: Dynamic context-aware GitHub CLI guidance loading

IF isAuthenticated AND isGitRepo:

• LOAD repository-specific GitHub CLI patterns
• GENERATE contextual examples for current repository
• INCLUDE workflow optimizations for detected repository patterns
• ADD current PR/issue context for immediate operations

ELSE IF isAuthenticated AND NOT isGitRepo:

• LOAD general GitHub CLI operations guidance
• FOCUS on repository discovery and organization management
• INCLUDE authentication and organization-level operations
• PROVIDE repository creation and cloning patterns

ELSE IF NOT isAuthenticated:

• LOAD basic GitHub CLI authentication guidance
• PROVIDE setup and configuration instructions
• INCLUDE authentication troubleshooting and alternatives
• ADD web-based GitHub operation fallbacks

STEP 4: Comprehensive GitHub CLI knowledge synthesis

FOR EACH workflow_category IN ["pull-requests", "issues", "reviews", "api-operations", "authentication"]:

• LOAD category-specific command patterns and best practices
• GENERATE contextual examples based on current repository state
• INCLUDE advanced operations and troubleshooting guidance
• ADD workflow optimization recommendations
• SAVE category knowledge to session state

STEP 5: Repository-specific workflow analysis and recommendations

IF repository detected AND has_open_issues_or_prs:

Think deeply about optimal GitHub workflow patterns for this repository based on current activity, open PRs, and issue patterns.

• ANALYZE current PR and issue patterns for workflow optimization
• IDENTIFY common operations that could be automated or streamlined
• GENERATE repository-specific GitHub CLI command templates
• PROVIDE workflow efficiency recommendations

STEP 6: Extended thinking integration for complex scenarios

IF complex_repository_patterns_detected:

• Enable extended thinking for complex GitHub workflow optimization
• Consider multi-repository coordination scenarios
• Analyze enterprise GitHub patterns and governance requirements
• Provide advanced automation and integration strategies

STEP 7: Session state management and artifact creation

• UPDATE session state with loaded knowledge and contextual examples
• SAVE repository-specific GitHub CLI templates: `/tmp/gh-cli-context-$SESSION_ID/repo-templates.md`
• CREATE workflow optimization guide: `/tmp/gh-cli-context-$SESSION_ID/workflow-optimization.md`
• GENERATE session summary with key recommendations and next steps

FINALLY:

• CLEAN UP temporary processing files
• ARCHIVE session artifacts for future reference
• REPORT comprehensive GitHub CLI context loading completion

GitHub CLI (`gh`) Comprehensive Knowledge Base

Core GitHub CLI Operations Framework

Overview

This guide provides comprehensive instructions for leveraging the GitHub CLI (`gh`) to manage pull requests, issues, comments, and reviews.

Pull Request Management

Creating Pull Requests

# Interactive creation (recommended for agents)
gh pr create

# With explicit parameters
gh pr create --title "PR title" --body "PR description"

# Using HEREDOC for multi-line body (
