Better Github Skill

GitHub work via gh CLI: PRs, review conversations, CI failures, repo state. Use when inspecting a PR, reading a review (bodies, comments, inline threads), debugging CI (finding which run failed, why a check or Actions run is red, reading job logs), or composing non-trivial gh commands. Scripts cover what raw gh can't do (thread resolution state) or reliably fumbles (PR snapshots, CI log drilldown); use raw gh directly for everything else.

From the SKILL.md

# better-github-skill

Raw `gh` first when you know the command; the scripts replace only the flows
agents repeatedly get wrong. Scripts run TS directly (node ≥ 23.6), no deps.

## Scripts

| script | use for |
|---|---|
| `scripts/pr-snapshot.ts [pr] [-R o/r]` | full PR state in one call: meta, mergeability, checks, files, reviews, comments, thread counts. Use instead of hand-assembling `pr view --json` field sets or chaining view/checks/comments calls. |
| `scripts/pr-threads.ts [pr] [-R o/r] [--all] [--author X] [--since ISO]` | the full review conversation: review bodies, issue comments, and unresolved inline threads (resolution state porcelain gh cannot get). Resolved/outdated threads are hidden by default, counted in the header; `--all` includes them. Read-only: never reply to or resolve threads unless explicitly told to. |
| `scripts/ci-failures.ts [run-id] [--pr N] [--list] [-R o/r]` | failing checks → failing jobs/steps → log snippet each; full logs saved to files (paths printed); rg those instead of re-fetching. `--list [--workflow W] [-L n]` shows recent runs with conclusions; use it to find the failing run id instead of `gh run list --json` field sets. |

Rule of thumb: pr-snapshot answers "what's the state of this PR", pr-threads
answers "what did reviewers write". Neither replaces the other.

All scripts: `--json` for structured output, `--help` for usage (includes the
`--json` shape). Omit the PR number to use the current branch's PR. Default
