What the skill teaches

A skill from GitHub's gh-aw repository with a shell script that fetches GitHub issues for the current repository or one given as owner/repo, filtered by state and capped by a limit. Without a jq expression the script returns only the data's schema and size, so the agent can inspect the structure before asking for specific fields; with one it returns filtered results, such as issues with a given label, issues assigned to someone, or counts by state. It needs the GitHub CLI signed in and jq installed. It lives in gh-aw's own skills folder but works on any repository.

Capabilities

  • List issues by state for any repository
  • Filter issues by label, author or assignee with jq
  • Count issues by state or comment volume
