Overview

This skill provides comprehensive GitHub integration modes for workflow orchestration, PR management, issue tracking, and repository coordination. Each mode is optimized for specific GitHub workflows with batch operation support.

Key Capabilities:

  • GitHub workflow orchestration and coordination
  • Pull request management and review automation
  • Issue tracking and project management
  • Release coordination and deployment
  • Repository architecture and organization
  • CI/CD pipeline coordination

Quick Start

5. repo-architect

Repository structure and organization

# Create repository
gh repo create my-project --public --description "Project description"

# Clone with specific options
gh repo clone owner/repo -- --depth=1

# Fork repository
gh repo fork owner/repo --clone

# Set repository settings
gh repo edit --enable-issues --enable-wiki=false

# Get PR diff
gh pr diff 123

# Get changed files
gh pr view 123 --json files --jq '.files[].path'

# Add review comment

# Request changes
gh pr review 123 --request-changes --body "Please address the following..."
  • Review Quality: Deep
  • Security Analysis: Yes
  • Best For: Code quality, security reviews, performance analysis

7. branch-manager

Branch management and workflow coordination

# Create feature branch via API
gh api repos/:owner/:repo/git/refs \
  -f ref='refs/heads/feature/new-feature' \
  -f sha=$(gh api repos/:owner/:repo/git/refs/heads/main --jq '.object.sha')

# Delete branch
gh api repos/:owner/:repo/git/refs/heads/old-branch --method DELETE

# List branches
gh api repos/:owner/:repo/branches --jq '.[].name'
  • Branch Strategy: GitFlow
  • Merge Strategy: Intelligent
  • Best For: Branch coordination, merge strategies, workflow management

Integration Modes

8. sync-coordinator

Multi-package synchronization

# Sync files across repos
gh api repos/:owner/:repo/contents/file.md --jq '.content' | base64 -d

# Create sync PR
gh pr create \
  --title "Sync: Update shared configurations" \
  --head sync/config-update \
  --base main

9. ci-orchestrator

CI/CD pipeline coordination

# Trigger workflow
gh workflow run ci.yml --ref main

# Check workflow status
gh run list --workflow=ci.yml --limit=5

# View run details
gh run view $RUN_ID

# Download artifacts
gh run download $RUN_ID

10. security-guardian

gh api repos/:owner/:repo/secret-scanning/alerts

# List code scanning alerts
gh api repos/:owner/:repo/code-scanning/alerts

Batch Operations

All GitHub modes support batch operations for maximum efficiency:

# Parallel issue creation
gh issue create --title "Task 1" --body "..." &
gh issue create --title "Task 2" --body "..." &
gh issue create --title "Task 3" --body "..." &
wait

# Batch label management
for issue in 1 2 3 4 5; do
  gh issue edit $issue --add-label "sprint-24" &
done
wait

# Parallel PR reviews
for pr in 10 11 12; do
  gh pr review $pr --approve --body "Automated approval" &
done
wait

MCP Tool Integration

Swarm Coordination

// Initialize GitHub workflow swarm

// Execute workflow with coordination
  task: "GitHub workflow coordination",
  strategy: "parallel",
  priority: "high"
}

// Store workflow state
  action: "store",
  key: "github/workflow/state",
  value: {
    mode: "pr-manager",
    activePRs: [123, 124, 125],
    status: "reviewing"
  }
}

GitHub-Specific Tools

// Repository analysis
  repo: "owner/repo",
  analysis_type: "code_quality"
}

// PR management
  repo: "owner/repo",
  action: "review",
  pr_number: 123
}

// Issue tracking
  repo: "owner/repo",
  action: "triage"
}

Usage Examples

Complete PR Workflow

# 1. Create feature branch
git checkout -b feature/new-feature

# 2. Make changes and commit
git add .
git commit -m "feat: Add new feature"
git push -u origin feature/new-feature

# 3. Create PR with full metadata
gh pr create \
  --title "feat: Add new feature" \
  --body "## Summary
- Implements feature X
- Adds tests for Y

## Testing
- [x] Unit tests pass
- [x] Integration tests pass

Closes #123" \
  --reviewer tech-lead,senior-dev \
  --assignee @me \
  --label "enhancement,needs-review" \
  --milestone "v2.0"

# 4. Wait for reviews and CI
gh pr checks 456 --watch

# 5. Merge when ready
gh pr merge 456 --squash --delete-branch

Automated Issue Management

# Triage unlabeled issues
gh issue list --label "" --json number,title | \
  jq -r '.[] | "\(.number): \(.title)"'

# Bulk close stale issues
gh issue list --label "stale" --json number | \
  jq -r '.[].number' | while read num; do
    gh issue close $num --comment "Closing stale issue"
  done

# Create linked issues
PARENT=$(gh issue create --title "Epic: Feature Set" --body "Parent issue")
gh issue create --title "Sub-task 1" --body "Part of #$PARENT"
gh issue create --title "Sub-task 2" --body "Part of #$PARENT"

  • Follow semantic versioning

4. Security

  • Enable branch protection
  • Require PR reviews
