# GitHub Skill
Use the `gh` CLI to interact with GitHub. Always specify `--repo owner/repo` when not in a git directory, or use URLs directly.
## Pull Requests
Check CI status on a PR:
```bash
gh pr checks 55 --repo owner/repo
```
List recent workflow runs:
```bash
gh run list --repo owner/repo --limit 10
```
View a run and see which steps failed:
```bash
gh run view <run-id> --repo owner/repo
```
View logs for failed steps only:
```bash
gh run view <run-id> --repo owner/repo --log-failed
```
## API for Advanced Queries
The `gh api` command is useful for accessing data not available through other subcommands.
Get PR with specific fields:
```bash
gh api repos/owner/repo/pulls/55 --jq '.title, .state, .user.login'
```
## JSON Output
Most commands support `--json` for structured output. You can use `--jq` to filter:
```bash
gh issue list --repo owner/repo --json number,title --jq '.[] | "\(.number): \(.title)"'
```
