Excerpt

GitHub Issue Query Skill

Query GitHub issues efficiently with built-in jq filtering.

Important: jq Parameter is Optional

The --jq parameter is optional. Without --jq, this skill returns schema and data size information instead of full data. Use this to avoid oversized responses and inspect structure before targeted queries.

Use --jq '.' to get all data, or use a more specific filter for targeted results.

Usage

Use this skill to query issues from the current repository or any specified repository.

Basic Query (Returns Schema Only)

To list issues from the current repository:

./query-issues.sh
# Returns schema and data size, not full data

Get All Data

To get all issue data:

./query-issues.sh --jq '.'

AWF Release Integrator

AWF Release Integrator upgrades gh-aw to the latest gh-aw-firewall release, bumps version constants, rebuilds generated artifacts, and reviews upstream spec changes to identify follow-up tasks.

Agent Session CLI

Agent Session CLI uses the gh agent-session command to inspect and manage GitHub Copilot coding agent sessions, including creating tasks from natural language instructions, listing, viewing, and updating them.

Agent Task CLI

Agent Task CLI creates GitHub Copilot coding agent tasks from the command line, using natural language instructions that trigger automated code changes and pull requests. Use it to delegate coding work, list and view tasks, and integrate with GitHub Agentic Workflows.

Agentic Workflows

Agentic Workflows compiles Markdown-defined AI agent jobs into GitHub Actions, so developers can define AI-powered repository automation and run AI agents securely through GitHub Actions for reasoning tasks.

Agentic Workflows Router

Agentic Workflows Router dispatches user requests to design, create, update, debug, or upgrade GitHub Agentic Workflows to the correct internal prompt or skill file. Use it when working on agentic workflows in a repository, and follow the matched instructions directly.

Checkout Credential Review

Checkout Credential Review helps review code that performs git or gh operations against repository checkouts, ensuring the right credentials are available at the right time and that sparseness, shallowness, and credential-free factors are considered.

Benchmark Methodology

Benchmark Methodology scores competitors across nine weighted dimensions using explicit 1–5 rubrics and a tension plot. Use it after competitive-platform-analysis to produce comparable, evidence-anchored profile cards for a competitive report.

Jupyter Notebook

Jupyter Notebook provides a stateful Python REPL via a live Jupyter kernel (hamelnb) so variables persist across executions. Use it for iterative data exploration, API inspection, and complex code development.

Solana

Solana queries wallets, token holdings, transactions, NFTs, whale transfers, and network stats on the Solana blockchain with USD pricing via CoinGecko. Use it when you need to inspect an address, verify a transaction, check token metadata or prices, or monitor network health.
