Why does this skill use the gh CLI instead of WebFetch?

The GitHub CLI is more reliable, handles authentication securely, and allows for precise atomic operations (fetch-modify-push) that prevent data corruption when multiple agents edit an issue.

Can Claude mark tasks as complete within an issue?

Yes, the skill includes specialized logic to find, modify, and update Markdown checkboxes atomically, ensuring tasks are checked off accurately as they are completed.

How do I handle multiple repositories?

The skill can extract owner and repository information from GitHub URLs or accept a repository flag to ensure commands are executed in the correct context.

Can I download attachments from an issue using this skill?

Yes, it can parse the issue body for image URLs and use curl to download them directly to your local development environment.

Does this skill support sub-tasks or sub-issues?

Yes, it integrates with the gh-sub-issue extension to create and manage parent-child relationships between issues, even across different repositories.
