Patterns for invoking the GitHub CLI (gh) from agents
gh-cli is an agent skill that gives patterns for invoking the GitHub CLI, gh, from an agent. The skill notes that gh already behaves well in non-interactive contexts: it skips the pager, strips colour codes, and fails fast with a helpful message instead of prompting, so for example it asks for a title and body to be provided directly when not running interactively. You therefore do not need to set GH_PAGER or pass a no-pager flag, which does not exist. Its other guidance covers structured output and parsing JSON, since human output from gh is column-formatted, as well as pagination, repository targeting, the difference between search and list commands, and the gh api fallback for requests the higher-level commands do not cover. Use it when an agent runs gh commands and needs reliable, machine-readable results. It is part of the cli/cli repository on GitHub, which has about 46,700 stars. The listing shows it as free, and it has about 2,000 installs. Its security audits show passes from Gen Agent Trust Hub and Socket, with a warning from Snyk. Install it with npx skills add https://github.com/cli/cli --skill gh.
