# GitHub
Work GitHub end to end with the `gh` CLI (REST fallback where noted): auth,
issues, the PR lifecycle, issue-to-PR delivery, code review, and repo
management. This skill consolidates six former skills; each workflow lives
complete in its reference file — ALWAYS read the matching reference before
starting that workflow, the body below only routes.
## Routing
| Task | Read first |
|---|---|
| Auth broken / new machine / token or SSH setup / gh login | `references/auth.md` |
| Create, triage, label, assign, close issues | `references/issues.md` |
| Branch, commit, open PR, watch CI, merge | `references/pr-workflow.md` |
| Carry an ISSUE to a verified PR (full delivery loop) | `references/issue-to-pr.md` |
| Review someone's PR: diffs, inline comments, verdict | `references/code-review.md` |
| Clone/create/fork repos, remotes, releases | `references/repo-management.md` |
Supporting assets: `scripts/gh-env.sh` + `scripts/git-credential-token.py`
(auth helpers), `templates/` (PR bodies, bug report, feature request),
`references/ci-troubleshooting.md`, `references/conventional-commits.md`,
`references/github-api-cheatsheet.md`, `references/review-output-template.md`.
## Core discipline (applies to every workflow)
- Preflight once per session: `gh auth status` — if it fails, go to
`references/auth.md` before anything else.
- Prefer `gh` over raw REST; drop to `gh api` only for endpoints the
porcelain lacks (the cheatsheet lists them).
- Never report CI green without checking `gh pr checks` yourself; never
claim merged without verifying `state,mergedAt`.
- Read full context before writing: `gh issue view --comments` /
`gh pr view --comments` — decisions live in threads, not titles.
- Sweep for duplicates before creating anything:
`gh pr list --search` / `gh issue list --search`.
## Verification
- The workflow's own reference file defines done for that task.
- Cross-cutting: every claim about remote state (CI, merge, release,
issue state) is backed by a fresh `gh` read, never memory.

# GitHub Authentication Setup
This skill sets up authentication so the agent can work with GitHub repositories, PRs, issues, and CI. It covers two paths:
- **`git` (always available)** — uses HTTPS personal access tokens or SSH keys
- **`gh` CLI (if installed)** — richer GitHub API access with a simpler auth flow
## Detection Flow
When a user asks you to work with GitHub, run this check first:
```bash
# Check what's available
git --version
gh --version 2>/dev/null || echo "gh not installed"
# Check if already authenticated
gh auth status 2>/dev/null || echo "gh not authenticated"
git config --global credential.helper 2>/dev/null || echo "no git credential helper"
```
**Decision tree:**
1. If `gh auth status` shows authenticated → you're good, use `gh` for everything
2. If `gh` is installed but not authenticated → use "gh auth" method below
3. If `gh` is not installed → use "git-only" method below (no sudo needed)
---
## Method 1: Git-Only Authentication (No gh, No sudo)
This works on any machine with `git` installed. No root access needed.
### Option A: HTTPS with Personal Access Token (Recommended)
This is the most portable method — works everywhere, no SSH config needed.
**Step 1: Create a personal access token**
Tell the user to go to: **https://github.com/settings/tokens**
- Click "Generate new token (classic)"
- Give it a name like "hermes-agent"
- Select scopes:
- `repo` (full repository access — read, write, push, PRs)
- `workflow` (trigger and manage GitHub Actions)
- `read:org` (if working with organization repos)
- Set expiration (90 days is a good default)
- Copy the token — it won't be shown again
**Step 2: Configure git to store the token**
```bash
# Set up the credential helper to cache credentials
# "store" saves to ~/.git-credentials in plaintext (simple, persistent)
git config --global credential.helper store
# Now do a test operation that triggers auth — git will prompt for credentials
# Username: <their-github-username>
# Password: <paste the personal access token, NOT their GitHub password>
git ls-remote https://github.com/<their-username>/<any-repo>.git
```
After entering credentials once, they're saved and reused for all future operations.
**Alternative: cache helper (credentials expire from memory)**
```bash
# Cache in memory for 8 hours (28800 seconds) instead of saving to disk
git config --global credential.helper 'cache --timeout=28800'
```
**Alternative: set the token directly in the remote URL (per-repo)**
```bash
# Embed token in the remote URL (avoids credential prompts entirely)
git remote set-url origin https://<username>:<token>@github.com/<owner>/<repo>.git
```
**Step 3: Configure git identity**
```bash
# Required for commits — set name and email
git config --global user.name "Their Name"
git config --global user.email "their-email@example.com"
```
**Step 4: Verify**
```bash
# Test push access (this should work without any prompts now)
git ls-remote https://github.com/<their-username>/<any-repo>.git
# Verify identity
git config --global user.name
git config --global user.email
```
### Option B: SSH Key Authentication
Good for users who prefer SSH or already have keys set up.
**Step 1: Check for existing SSH keys**
```bash
ls -la ~/.ssh/id_*.pub 2>/dev/null || echo "No SSH keys found"
```
**Step 2: Generate a key if needed**
```bash
# Generate an ed25519 key (modern, secure, fast)
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "their-email@example.com" -f ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 -N ""
# Display the public key for them to add to GitHub
cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub
```
Tell the user to add the public key at: **https://github.com/settings/keys**
- Click "New SSH key"
- Paste the public key content
- Give it a title like "hermes-agent-<machine-name>"
**Step 3: Test the connection**
```bash
ssh -T git@github.com
# Expected: "Hi <username>! You've successfully authenticated..."
```
**Step 4: Configure git to use SSH for GitHub**
```bash
# Rewrite HTTPS GitHub URLs to SSH automatically
git config --global url."git@github.com:".insteadOf "https://github.com/"
```
**Step 5: Configure git identity**
```bash
git config --global user.name "Their Name"
git config --global user.email "their-email@example.com"
```
---
## Method 2: gh CLI Authentication
If `gh` is installed, it handles both API access and git credentials in one step.
### Interactive Browser Login (Desktop)
> **PITFALL (agent-driven sessions on Windows):** when driving `gh auth login` through a pty background process, answer prompts with `process(submit)` — never `process(write)` with a bare `\n`. Enter on a Windows PTY (ConPTY/pywinpty) is a carriage return; a lone `\n` is not delivered as a line terminator, so gh's "Press Enter to open the browser" prompt (a blocking line read) silently never returns and the login hangs. Also note the browser may not open on the user's desktop from a background session — if they report that, fall back to the device flow below.
```bash
gh auth login
# Select: GitHub.com
# Select: HTTPS
# Authenticate via browser
```
### Manual OAuth Device Flow (no TTY needed — PROVEN)
Fallback when interactive login is impractical (agent-driven sessions, no browser launch, headless). Uses gh's public OAuth client id; the user just enters a code at github.com/login/device. Scopes: `repo,read:org,gist` is the documented minimum for `gh auth login --with-token`; append `,workflow` only if you need to push workflow files.
```bash
# 1. Request a device code (gh's official client_id)
RESP=$(curl -s -X POST -H "Accept: application/json" \
-d "client_id=178c6fc778ccc68e1d6a&scope=repo,read:org,gist" \
https://github.com/login/device/code)
DEVICE_CODE=$(echo "$RESP" | sed 's/.*"device_code":"\([^"]*\)".*/\1/')
USER_CODE=$(echo "$RESP" | sed 's/.*"user_code":"\([^"]*\)".*/\1/')
INTERVAL=$(echo "$RESP" | sed 's/.*"interval":\([0-9]*\).*/\1/'); INTERVAL=${INTERVAL:-5}
echo "Tell the user: go to https://github.com/login/device and enter code: $USER_CODE"
# 2. Poll for the token (respect interval; +5s on slow_down; ~15 min expiry).
# Run this loop as a background process and show the user the code first.
while true; do
sleep "$INTERVAL"
POLL=$(curl -s -X POST -H "Accept: application/json" \
-d "client_id=178c6fc778ccc68e1d6a&device_code=${DEVICE_CODE}&grant_type=urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:device_code" \
https://github.com/login/oauth/access_token)
case "$POLL" in
*access_token*)
# Never echo the token; pipe it straight into gh.
# timeout guards the headless-keyring hang (see pitfall below) —
# on exit 124, fall back to writing ~/.config/gh/hosts.yml directly.
echo "$POLL" | sed 's/.*"access_token":"\([^"]*\)".*/\1/' | timeout 20 gh auth login --with-token \
|| { echo "WITH_TOKEN_HUNG_OR_FAILED — use the hosts.yml fallback below"; exit 1; }
gh auth setup-git
gh auth status
echo "LOGIN_COMPLETE"; break ;;
*authorization_pending*) ;; # keep polling
*slow_down*) INTERVAL=$((INTERVAL + 5)) ;; # back off per GitHub docs
*expired_token*) echo "CODE_EXPIRED — restart the flow"; exit 1 ;;
*access_denied*) echo "USER_DENIED"; exit 1 ;;
*) echo "UNEXPECTED: $POLL"; exit 1 ;;
esac
done
```
Note: on Windows winget installs, gh lands at `/c/Program Files/GitHub CLI` — add it to PATH in the same shell: `export PATH="$PATH:/c/Program Files/GitHub CLI"`.
> **PITFALL (headless Linux): `gh auth login --with-token` can hang forever.**
> On keyring-less/headless boxes (VPS, containers, no dbus session), gh's
> credential storage may block indefinitely waiting on a secret-service
> keyring — even with `--insecure-storage`, and with no output. If the
> command doesn't return within ~20s (wrap it in `timeout 20 …` to detect
> this), skip gh's login machinery and write the credential store directly:
>
> ```bash
> # $TOKEN = the access token from the device flow above (never echo it)
> mkdir -p ~/.config/gh
> LOGIN=$(curl -s -H "Authorization: token $TOKEN" https://api.github.com/user \
> | sed 's/.*"login": *"\([^"]*\)".*/\1/')
> printf 'github.com:\n users:\n %s:\n oauth_token: %s\n git_protocol: https\n oauth_token: %s\n user: %s\n' \
> "$LOGIN" "$TOKEN" "$TOKEN" "$LOGIN" > ~/.config/gh/hosts.yml
> chmod 600 ~/.config/gh/hosts.yml
> gh auth status # reads hosts.yml directly — verifies without the keyring
> gh auth setup-git # wires the git credential helper (does not hang)
> ```
>
> `gh auth status` and `setup-git` read the file store without touching the
> keyring, so they work immediately. Proven on a headless x86_64 VPS
> (gh 2.97.0, Aug 2026) after `--with-token` hung twice.
### Token-Based Login (Headless / SSH Servers)
```bash
echo "<THEIR_TOKEN>" | gh auth login --with-token
# Set up git credentials through gh
gh auth setup-git
```
If `--with-token` hangs here, use the hosts.yml fallback from the pitfall above.
### Verify
```bash
gh auth status
```
---
## Using the GitHub API Without gh
When `gh` is not available, you can still access the full GitHub API using `curl` with a personal access token. This is how the other GitHub skills implement their fallbacks.
### Setting the Token for API Calls
```bash
# Option 1: Export as env var (preferred — keeps it out of commands)
export GITHUB_TOKEN="<token>"
# Then use in curl calls:
curl -s -H "Authorization: token $GITHUB_TOKEN" \
https://api.github.com/user
```
### Extracting the Token from Git Credentials
If git credentials are already configured (via credential.helper store), the token can be extracted:
```bash
# Read from git credential store
uv run python "${HERMES_HOME:-$HOME/.hermes}/skills/github/github-auth/scripts/git-credential-token.py"
```
### Helper: Detect Auth Method
Use this pattern at the start of any GitHub workflow:
```bash
# Try gh first, fall back to git + curl
if command -v gh &>/dev/null && gh auth status &>/dev/null; then
echo "AUTH_METHOD=gh"
elif [ -n "$GITHUB_TOKEN" ]; then
echo "AUTH_METHOD=curl"
elif _hermes_env="${HERMES_HOME:-$HOME/.hermes}/.env"; [ -f "$_hermes_env" ] && grep -q "^GITHUB_TOKEN=" "$_hermes_env"; then
export GITHUB_TOKEN=$(grep "^GITHUB_TOKEN=" "$_hermes_env" | head -1 | cut -d= -f2 | tr -d '\n\r')
echo "AUTH_METHOD=curl"
elif grep -q "github.com" ~/.git-credentials 2>/dev/null; then
export GITHUB_TOKEN=$(uv run python "${HERMES_HOME:-$HOME/.hermes}/skills/github/github-auth/scripts/git-credential-token.py")
echo "AUTH_METHOD=curl"
else
echo "AUTH_METHOD=none"
echo "Need to set up authentication first"
fi
```

## Troubleshooting
| Problem | Solution |
|---------|----------|
| `git push` asks for password | GitHub disabled password auth. Use a personal access token as the password, or switch to SSH |
| `remote: Permission to X denied` | Token may lack `repo` scope — regenerate with correct scopes |
| `fatal: Authentication failed` | Cached credentials may be stale — run `git credential reject` then re-authenticate |
| `ssh: connect to host github.com port 22: Connection refused` | Try SSH over HTTPS port: add `Host github.com` with `Port 443` and `Hostname ssh.github.com` to `~/.ssh/config` |
| Credentials not persisting | Check `git config --global credential.helper` — must be `store` or `cache` |
| Multiple GitHub accounts | Use SSH with different keys per host alias in `~/.ssh/config`, or per-repo credential URLs |
| `gh: command not found` + no sudo | Use git-only Method 1 above — no installation needed |

# CI Troubleshooting Quick Reference
Common CI failure patterns and how to diagnose them from the logs.
## Reading CI Logs
```bash
# With gh
gh run view <RUN_ID> --log-failed
# With curl — download and extract
curl -sL -H "Authorization: token $GITHUB_TOKEN" \
https://api.github.com/repos/$GH_OWNER/$GH_REPO/actions/runs/<RUN_ID>/logs \
-o /tmp/ci-logs.zip && unzip -o /tmp/ci-logs.zip -d /tmp/ci-logs
```
## Common Failure Patterns
### Test Failures
**Signatures in logs:**
```
FAILED tests/test_foo.py::test_bar - AssertionError
E assert 42 == 43
ERROR tests/test_foo.py - ModuleNotFoundError
```
**Diagnosis:**
1. Find the test file and line number from the traceback
2. Use `read_file` to read the failing test
3. Check if it's a logic error in the code or a stale test assertion
4. Look for `ModuleNotFoundError` — usually a missing dependency in CI
**Common fixes:**
- Update assertion to match new expected behavior
- Add missing dependency to requirements.txt / pyproject.toml
- Fix flaky test (add retry, mock external service, fix race condition)
---
### Lint / Formatting Failures
**Signatures in logs:**
```
src/auth.py:45:1: E302 expected 2 blank lines, got 1
src/models.py:12:80: E501 line too long (95 > 88 characters)
error: would reformat src/utils.py
```
**Diagnosis:**
1. Read the specific file:line numbers mentioned
2. Check which linter is complaining (flake8, ruff, black, isort, mypy)
**Common fixes:**
- Run the formatter locally: `black .`, `isort .`, `ruff check --fix .`
- Fix the specific style violation by editing the file
- If using `patch`, make sure to match existing indentation style
---
### Type Check Failures (mypy / pyright)
**Signatures in logs:**
```
src/api.py:23: error: Argument 1 to "process" has incompatible type "str"; expected "int"
src/models.py:45: error: Missing return statement
```
**Diagnosis:**
1. Read the file at the mentioned line
2. Check the function signature and what's being passed
**Common fixes:**
- Add type cast or conversion
- Fix the function signature
- Add `# type: ignore` comment as last resort (with explanation)
---
### Build / Compilation Failures
**Signatures in logs:**
```
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'some_package'
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement foo==1.2.3
npm ERR! Could not resolve dependency
```
**Diagnosis:**
1. Check requirements.txt / package.json for the missing or incompatible dependency
2. Compare local vs CI Python/Node version
**Common fixes:**
- Add missing dependency to requirements file
- Pin compatible version
- Update lockfile (`pip freeze`, `npm install`)
---
### Permission / Auth Failures
**Signatures in logs:**
```
fatal: could not read Username for 'https://github.com': No such device or address
Error: Resource not accessible by integration
403 Forbidden
```
**Diagnosis:**
1. Check if the workflow needs special permissions (token scopes)
2. Check if secrets are configured (missing `GITHUB_TOKEN` or custom secrets)
**Common fixes:**
- Add `permissions:` block to workflow YAML
- Verify secrets exist: `gh secret list` or check repo settings
- For fork PRs: some secrets aren't available by design
---
### Timeout Failures
**Signatures in logs:**
```
Error: The operation was canceled.
The job running on runner ... has exceeded the maximum execution time
```
**Diagnosis:**
1. Check which step timed out
2. Look for infinite loops, hung processes, or slow network calls
**Common fixes:**
- Add timeout to the specific step: `timeout-minutes: 10`
- Fix the underlying performance issue
- Split into parallel jobs
---
### Docker / Container Failures
**Signatures in logs:**
```
docker: Error response from daemon
failed to solve: ... not found
COPY failed: file not found in build context
```
**Diagnosis:**
1. Check Dockerfile for the failing step
2. Verify the referenced files exist in the repo
**Common fixes:**
- Fix path in COPY/ADD command
- Update base image tag
- Add missing file to `.dockerignore` exclusion or remove from it

# GitHub Code Review
Perform code reviews on local changes before pushing, or review open PRs on GitHub. Most of this skill uses plain `git` — the `gh`/`curl` split only matters for PR-level interactions.
## Prerequisites
- Authenticated with GitHub (see `github-auth` skill)
- Inside a git repository
### Setup (for PR interactions)
```bash
if command -v gh &>/dev/null && gh auth status &>/dev/null; then
AUTH="gh"
else
AUTH="git"
if [ -z "$GITHUB_TOKEN" ]; then
if _hermes_env="${HERMES_HOME:-$HOME/.hermes}/.env"; [ -f "$_hermes_env" ] && grep -q "^GITHUB_TOKEN=" "$_hermes_env"; then
GITHUB_TOKEN=$(grep "^GITHUB_TOKEN=" "$_hermes_env" | head -1 | cut -d= -f2 | tr -d '\n\r')
elif grep -q "github.com" ~/.git-credentials 2>/dev/null; then
GITHUB_TOKEN=$(uv run python "${HERMES_HOME:-$HOME/.hermes}/skills/github/github-auth/scripts/git-credential-token.py")
fi
fi
fi
REMOTE_URL=$(git remote get-url origin)
OWNER_REPO=$(echo "$REMOTE_URL" | sed -E 's|.*github\.com[:/]||; s|\.git$||')
OWNER=$(echo "$OWNER_REPO" | cut -d/ -f1)
REPO=$(echo "$OWNER_REPO" | cut -d/ -f2)
```
---
## 1. Reviewing Local Changes (Pre-Push)
This is pure `git` — works everywhere, no API needed.
### Get the Diff
```bash
# Staged changes (what would be committed)
git diff --staged
# All changes vs main (what a PR would contain)
git diff main...HEAD
# File names only
git diff main...HEAD --name-only
# Stat summary (insertions/deletions per file)
git diff main...HEAD --stat
```
### Review Strategy
1. **Get the big picture first:**
```bash
git diff main...HEAD --stat
git log main..HEAD --oneline
```
2. **Review file by file** — use `read_file` on changed files for full context, and the diff to see what changed:
```bash
git diff main...HEAD -- src/auth/login.py
```
3. **Check for common issues:**
```bash
# Debug statements, TODOs, console.logs left behind
git diff main...HEAD | grep -n "print(\|console\.log\|TODO\|FIXME\|HACK\|XXX\|debugger"
# Large files accidentally staged
git diff main...HEAD --stat | sort -t'|' -k2 -rn | head -10
# Secrets or credential patterns
git diff main...HEAD | grep -in "password\|secret\|api_key\|token.*=\|private_key"
# Merge conflict markers
git diff main...HEAD | grep -n "<<<<<<\|>>>>>>\|======="
```
4. **Present structured feedback** to the user.
### Review Output Format
When reviewing local changes, present findings in this structure:
```
## Code Review Summary
### Critical
- **src/auth.py:45** — SQL injection: user input passed directly to query.
Suggestion: Use parameterized queries.
### Warnings
- **src/models/user.py:23** — Password stored in plaintext. Use bcrypt or argon2.
- **src/api/routes.py:112** — No rate limiting on login endpoint.
### Suggestions
- **src/utils/helpers.py:8** — Duplicates logic in `src/core/utils.py:34`. Consolidate.
- **tests/test_auth.py** — Missing edge case: expired token test.
### Looks Good
- Clean separation of concerns in the middleware layer
- Good test coverage for the happy path
```
---
## 2. Reviewing a Pull Request on GitHub
### View PR Details
**With gh:**
```bash
gh pr view 123
gh pr diff 123
gh pr diff 123 --name-only
```
**With git + curl:**
```bash
PR_NUMBER=123
# Get PR details
curl -s \
-H "Authorization: token $GITHUB_TOKEN" \
https://api.github.com/repos/$OWNER/$REPO/pulls/$PR_NUMBER \
| python -c "
import sys, json
pr = json.load(sys.stdin)
print(f\"Title: {pr['title']}\")
print(f\"Author: {pr['user']['login']}\")
print(f\"Branch: {pr['head']['ref']} -> {pr['base']['ref']}\")
print(f\"State: {pr['state']}\")
print(f\"Body:\n{pr['body']}\")"
# List changed files
curl -s \
-H "Authorization: token $GITHUB_TOKEN" \
https://api.github.com/repos/$OWNER/$REPO/pulls/$PR_NUMBER/files \
| python -c "
import sys, json
for f in json.load(sys.stdin):
print(f\"{f['status']:10} +{f['additions']:-4} -{f['deletions']:-4} {f['filename']}\")"
```
### Check Out PR Locally for Full Review
This works with plain `git` — no `gh` needed:
```bash
# Fetch the PR branch and check it out
git fetch origin pull/123/head:pr-123
git checkout pr-123
# Now you can use read_file, search_files, run tests, etc.
# View diff against the base branch
git diff main...pr-123
```
**With gh (shortcut):**
```bash
gh pr checkout 123
```
### Leave Comments on a PR
**General PR comment — with gh:**
```bash
gh pr comment 123 --body "Overall looks good, a few suggestions below."
```
**General PR comment — with curl:**
```bash
curl -s -X POST \
-H "Authorization: token $GITHUB_TOKEN" \
https://api.github.com/repos/$OWNER/$REPO/issues/$PR_NUMBER/comments \
-d '{"body": "Overall looks good, a few suggestions below."}'
```
### Leave Inline Review Comments
**Single inline comment — with gh (via API):**
```bash
HEAD_SHA=$(gh pr view 123 --json headRefOid --jq '.headRefOid')
gh api repos/$OWNER/$REPO/pulls/123/comments \
--method POST \
-f body="This could be simplified with a list comprehension." \
-f path="src/auth/login.py" \
-f commit_id="$HEAD_SHA" \
-f line=45 \
-f side="RIGHT"
```
**Single inline comment — with curl:**
```bash
# Get the head commit SHA
HEAD_SHA=$(curl -s \
-H "Authorization: token $GITHUB_TOKEN" \
https://api.github.com/repos/$OWNER/$REPO/pulls/$PR_NUMBER \
| python -c "import sys,json; print(json.load(sys.stdin)['head']['sha'])")
curl -s -X POST \
-H "Authorization: token $GITHUB_TOKEN" \
https://api.github.com/repos/$OWNER/$REPO/pulls/$PR_NUMBER/comments \
-d "{
\"body\": \"This could be simplified with a list comprehension.\",
\"path\": \"src/auth/login.py\",
\"commit_id\": \"$HEAD_SHA\",
\"line\": 45,
\"side\": \"RIGHT\"
}"
```
### Submit a Formal Review (Approve / Request Changes)
**With gh:**
```bash
gh pr review 123 --approve --body "LGTM!"
gh pr review 123 --request-changes --body "See inline comments."
gh pr review 123 --comment --body "Some suggestions, nothing blocking."
```
**With curl — multi-comment review submitted atomically:**
```bash
HEAD_SHA=$(curl -s \
-H "Authorization: token $GITHUB_TOKEN" \
https://api.github.com/repos/$OWNER/$REPO/pulls/$PR_NUMBER \
| python -c "import sys,json; print(json.load(sys.stdin)['head']['sha'])")
curl -s -X POST \
-H "Authorization: token $GITHUB_TOKEN" \
https://api.github.com/repos/$OWNER/$REPO/pulls/$PR_NUMBER/reviews \
-d "{
\"commit_id\": \"$HEAD_SHA\",
\"event\": \"COMMENT\",
\"body\": \"Code review from Hermes Agent\",
\"comments\": [
{\"path\": \"src/auth.py\", \"line\": 45, \"body\": \"Use parameterized queries to prevent SQL injection.\"},
{\"path\": \"src/models/user.py\", \"line\": 23, \"body\": \"Hash passwords with bcrypt before storing.\"},
{\"path\": \"tests/test_auth.py\", \"line\": 1, \"body\": \"Add test for expired token edge case.\"}

## 3. Review Checklist
When performing a code review (local or PR), systematically check:
### Correctness
- Does the code do what it claims?
- Edge cases handled (empty inputs, nulls, large data, concurrent access)?
- Error paths handled gracefully?
### Security
- No hardcoded secrets, credentials, or API keys
- Input validation on user-facing inputs
- No SQL injection, XSS, or path traversal
- Auth/authz checks where needed
### Code Quality
- Clear naming (variables, functions, classes)
- No unnecessary complexity or premature abstraction
- DRY — no duplicated logic that should be extracted
- Functions are focused (single responsibility)
### Testing
- New code paths tested?
- Happy path and error cases covered?
- Tests readable and maintainable?
### Performance
- No N+1 queries or unnecessary loops
- Appropriate caching where beneficial
- No blocking operations in async code paths
### Documentation
- Public APIs documented
- Non-obvious logic has comments explaining "why"
- README updated if behavior changed
---
## 4. Pre-Push Review Workflow
When the user asks you to "review the code" or "check before pushing":
1. `git diff main...HEAD --stat` — see scope of changes
2. `git diff main...HEAD` — read the full diff
3. For each changed file, use `read_file` if you need more context
4. Apply the checklist above
5. Present findings in the structured format (Critical / Warnings / Suggestions / Looks Good)
6. If critical issues found, offer to fix them before the user pushes
---
## 5. PR Review Workflow (End-to-End)
When the user asks you to "review PR #N", "look at this PR", or gives you a PR URL, follow this recipe:
### Step 1: Set up environment
```bash
source "${HERMES_HOME:-$HOME/.hermes}/skills/github/github-auth/scripts/gh-env.sh"
# Or run the inline setup block from the top of this skill
```
### Step 2: Gather PR context
Get the PR metadata, description, and list of changed files to understand scope before diving into code.
**With gh:**
```bash
gh pr view 123
gh pr diff 123 --name-only
gh pr checks 123
```
**With curl:**
```bash
PR_NUMBER=123
# PR details (title, author, description, branch)
curl -s -H "Authorization: token $GITHUB_TOKEN" \
https://api.github.com/repos/$GH_OWNER/$GH_REPO/pulls/$PR_NUMBER
# Changed files with line counts
curl -s -H "Authorization: token $GITHUB_TOKEN" \
https://api.github.com/repos/$GH_OWNER/$GH_REPO/pulls/$PR_NUMBER/files
```
### Step 3: Check out the PR locally
This gives you full access to `read_file`, `search_files`, and the ability to run tests.
```bash
git fetch origin pull/$PR_NUMBER/head:pr-$PR_NUMBER
git checkout pr-$PR_NUMBER
```
### Step 4: Read the diff and understand changes
```bash
# Full diff against the base branch
git diff main...HEAD
# Or file-by-file for large PRs
git diff main...HEAD --name-only
# Then for each file:
git diff main...HEAD -- path/to/file.py
```
For each changed file, use `read_file` to see full context around the changes — diffs alone can miss issues visible only with surrounding code.
### Step 5: Run automated checks locally (if applicable)
```bash
# Run tests if there's a test suite
python -m pytest 2>&1 | tail -20
# or: npm test, cargo test, go test ./..., etc.
# Run linter if configured
ruff check . 2>&1 | head -30
# or: eslint, clippy, etc.
```
### Step 6: Apply the review checklist (Section 3)
Go through each category: Correctness, Security, Code Quality, Testing, Performance, Documentation.
### Step 7: Post the review to GitHub
Collect your findings and submit them as a formal review with inline comments.
**With gh:**
```bash
# If no issues — approve
gh pr review $PR_NUMBER --approve --body "Reviewed by Hermes Agent. Code looks clean — good test coverage, no security concerns."
# If issues found — request changes with inline comments
gh pr review $PR_NUMBER --request-changes --body "Found a few issues — see inline comments."
```
**With curl — atomic review with multiple inline comments:**
```bash
HEAD_SHA=$(curl -s -H "Authorization: token $GITHUB_TOKEN" \
https://api.github.com/repos/$GH_OWNER/$GH_REPO/pulls/$PR_NUMBER \
| python -c "import sys,json; print(json.load(sys.stdin)['head']['sha'])")
# Build the review JSON — event is APPROVE, REQUEST_CHANGES, or COMMENT
curl -s -X POST \
-H "Authorization: token $GITHUB_TOKEN" \
https://api.github.com/repos/$GH_OWNER/$GH_REPO/pulls/$PR_NUMBER/reviews \
-d "{
\"commit_id\": \"$HEAD_SHA\",
\"event\": \"REQUEST_CHANGES\",
\"body\": \"## Hermes Agent Review\n\nFound 2 issues, 1 suggestion. See inline comments.\",
\"comments\": [
{\"path\": \"src/auth.py\", \"line\": 45, \"body\": \"🔴 **Critical:** User input passed directly to SQL query — use parameterized queries.\"},
{\"path\": \"src/models.py\", \"line\": 23, \"body\": \"⚠️ **Warning:** Password stored without hashing.\"},
{\"path\": \"src/utils.py\", \"line\": 8, \"body\": \"💡 **Suggestion:** This duplicates logic in core/utils.py:34.\"}
]
}"
```
### Step 8: Also post a summary comment
In addition to inline comments, leave a top-level summary so the PR author gets the full picture at a glance. Use the review output format from `references/review-output-template.md`.
**With gh:**
```bash
gh pr comment $PR_NUMBER --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
## Code Review Summary
**Verdict: Changes Requested** (2 issues, 1 suggestion)
### 🔴 Critical
- **src/auth.py:45** — SQL injection vulnerability
### ⚠️ Warnings
- **src/models.py:23** — Plaintext password storage
### 💡 Suggestions
- **src/utils.py:8** — Duplicated logic, consider consolidating
### ✅ Looks Good
- Clean API design
- Good error handling in the middleware layer
---
*Reviewed by Hermes Agent*
EOF
)"
```
### Step 9: Clean up
```bash
git checkout main
git branch -D pr-$PR_NUMBER
```
### Decision: Approve vs Request Changes vs Comment
- **Approve** — no critical or warning-level issues, only minor suggestions or all clear
- **Request Changes** — any critical or warning-level issue that should be fixed before merge
- **Comment** — observations and suggestions, but nothing blocking (use when you're unsure or the PR is a draft)

# GitHub Issue to Pull Request
Turn a GitHub issue into a tested, verified PR. This skill owns the end-to-end discipline — premise validation, duplicate sweeps, class-level fixes, and honest CI reporting; the sibling GitHub and development skills own their own mechanics.
## When to Use
- "Fix issue #123 and open a PR."
- "Implement this GitHub feature request."
- "Take this bug from issue to green CI."
Don't use for: reviewing an existing PR, or answering a code question with no requested change.
## Procedure
### 1. Read the live issue — body AND full thread
Use `terminal` to run `gh issue view <N> --comments`. The body is a snapshot from filing time; the newest comments carry the live state: partial fixes already merged, new root-cause analyses, maintainer decisions, or questions directed at you that change the task. Also read repository instructions (`AGENTS.md`, contribution docs) with `read_file`. Done when the currently requested behavior, non-goals, and any unanswered thread questions are known.
### 2. Sweep for existing and duplicate work
Before writing anything, run `gh pr list --search "#<N>" --state all` plus at least two keyword/synonym variants of the symptom (`gh pr list --search "<subsystem> <symptom>" --state open`). Popular issues attract multiple independent fixes; building a duplicate wastes the work and the credit. Also check whether a recent commit already fixed it: `git log --oneline -20 -- <relevant files>`. Done when you know every open PR and recent commit touching this issue, or that none exist.
### 3. Validate the premise against current code — and against design intent
Reproduce the bug or demonstrate the missing behavior on the current default branch with a failing test or fixture, using `search_files` and `read_file` to trace the reported path. Then check the second question: is the "bug" actually deliberate design? Run `git log -p -S "<symbol>"` on the code the issue wants changed and read the original commit's intent — a missing link or restriction is often the feature. Challenge stale or flawed issue prose instead of implementing it blindly. Done when the root cause or feature gap is demonstrated in current code AND the change doesn't fight an intentional design.
### 4. Define acceptance and risk
List acceptance criteria, interfaces, migrations/state changes, compatibility, security/privacy, rollout, and rollback. Map every criterion to a test or explicit verification. Done when review has a finite contract.
### 5. Implement the smallest complete change — and fix the class
Work on an isolated branch or worktree, loading `systematic-debugging` or `test-driven-development` when the bug class calls for them. Add regression tests first, then implement. When the fix is in hand, `search_files` for the same bug shape at sibling call sites and fix the whole class in this PR — an incomplete fix that leaves known siblings broken is worse than none. Every changed line must trace to the issue; no drive-by cleanup. Done when targeted tests pass, the original failure no longer reproduces, and sibling sites are fixed or explicitly ruled out.
### 6. Prove the regression test bites (sabotage run)
Temporarily restore the old behavior of the exact function under test, run the new test, and confirm it FAILS; then restore the fix and confirm it passes. A regression test that passes with and without the fix proves nothing. Done when the test demonstrably fails on pre-fix code.
### 7. Run repository quality gates, then open the PR immediately
Run the formatter, lint, typecheck, and the repo's canonical test entrypoint on affected areas; use `requesting-code-review` on the diff. Then push and open the PR right away — the PR is what dispatches CI, and CI latency is the long pole; do not sit on finished work. Load `github-pr-workflow` for PR mechanics: conventional branch/commit, body linking the issue with problem, approach, tests, risk, and exclusions. Read the PR back and verify head SHA, base, title, and files. Done when the PR exists with the intended diff and CI is running.
### 8. Shepherd CI honestly and close the loop
Inspect live checks and failure logs via `gh pr checks` / `gh run view --log-failed`. Distinguish failures introduced by your diff from pre-existing baseline or infrastructure failures — reproduce on the default branch when unsure, and rerun once only for genuine infra flakes. Never say "green," "merged," or "released" without live evidence of that exact state. When the PR lands, comment on the issue with the PR link and a one-line explanation so the reporter gets a traceable resolution. Done when CI state, remaining blockers, and the issue thread all reflect reality.
## Pitfalls
- Coding before reading issue comments, sweeping for duplicate PRs, or reading current code.
- "Fixing" behavior that the original commit shows is intentional design.
- Fixing a symptom at one call site while sibling sites keep the same bug.
- Shipping a regression test that also passes without the fix.
- Opening a PR with unrun tests or unrelated formatting churn.
- Claiming the issue is delivered because a PR exists.
## Verification
- [ ] Full issue thread read; newest comment state reflected in the plan.
- [ ] Duplicate-PR sweep run with issue number + 2 keyword variants.
- [ ] Premise reproduced on current code; design intent checked via git history.
- [ ] Regression test proven to fail without the fix.
- [ ] Sibling call sites fixed or explicitly ruled out.
- [ ] Every changed line traces to the issue.
- [ ] CI state reported from live evidence only; issue commented with the PR link.

# GitHub Issues Management
Create, search, triage, and manage GitHub issues. Each section shows `gh` first, then the `curl` fallback.
## Prerequisites
- Authenticated with GitHub (see `github-auth` skill)
- Inside a git repo with a GitHub remote, or specify the repo explicitly
### Setup
```bash
if command -v gh &>/dev/null && gh auth status &>/dev/null; then
AUTH="gh"
else
AUTH="git"
if [ -z "$GITHUB_TOKEN" ]; then

# Reopen
curl -s -X PATCH \
-H "Authorization: token $GITHUB_TOKEN" \
https://api.github.com/repos/$OWNER/$REPO/issues/42 \
-d '{"state": "open"}'
```
### Linking Issues to PRs
Issues are automatically closed when a PR merges with the right keywords in the body:
```
Closes #42
Fixes #42
Resolves #42
```
To create a branch from an issue:
**With gh:**
```bash
gh issue develop 42 --checkout
```
**With git (manual equivalent):**
```bash
git checkout main && git pull origin main
git checkout -b fix/issue-42-login-redirect
```
## 4. Issue Triage Workflow
When asked to triage issues:
1. **List untriaged issues:**
```bash
# With gh
gh issue list --label "needs-triage" --state open
# With curl
curl -s \
-H "Authorization: token $GITHUB_TOKEN" \
"https://api.github.com/repos/$OWNER/$REPO/issues?labels=needs-triage&state=open" \
| python -c "
import sys, json
for i in json.load(sys.stdin):
if 'pull_request' not in i:
print(f\"#{i['number']} {i['title']}\")"
```
2. **Read and categorize** each issue (view details, understand the bug/feature)
3. **Apply labels and priority** (see Managing Issues above)
4. **Assign** if the owner is clear
5. **Comment with triage notes** if needed
## 5. Bulk Operations
For batch operations, combine API calls with shell scripting:
**With gh:**
```bash
# Close all issues with a specific label
gh issue list --label "wontfix" --json number --jq '.[].number' | \
xargs -I {} gh issue close {} --reason "not planned"
```
**With curl:**
```bash
# List issue numbers with a label, then close each
curl -s \
-H "Authorization: token $GITHUB_TOKEN" \
"https://api.github.com/repos/$OWNER/$REPO/issues?labels=wontfix&state=open" \
| python -c "import sys,json; [print(i['number']) for i in json.load(sys.stdin)]" \
| while read num; do
curl -s -X PATCH \
-H "Authorization: token $GITHUB_TOKEN" \
https://api.github.com/repos/$OWNER/$REPO/issues/$num \
-d '{"state": "closed", "state_reason": "not_planned"}'
echo "Closed #$num"
done
```
## Quick Reference Table
| Action | gh | curl endpoint |
|--------|-----|--------------|
| List issues | `gh issue list` | `GET /repos/{o}/{r}/issues` |
| View issue | `gh issue view N` | `GET /repos/{o}/{r}/issues/N` |
| Create issue | `gh issue create ...` | `POST /repos/{o}/{r}/issues` |
| Add labels | `gh issue edit N --add-label ...` | `POST /repos/{o}/{r}/issues/N/labels` |
| Assign | `gh issue edit N --add-assignee ...` | `POST /repos/{o}/{r}/issues/N/assignees` |
| Comment | `gh issue comment N --body ...` | `POST /repos/{o}/{r}/issues/N/comments` |
| Close | `gh issue close N` | `PATCH /repos/{o}/{r}/issues/N` |
| Search | `gh issue list --search "..."` | `GET /search/issues?q=...` |

# GitHub Pull Request Workflow
Complete guide for managing the PR lifecycle. Each section shows the `gh` way first, then the `git` + `curl` fallback for machines without `gh`.
## Prerequisites
- Authenticated with GitHub (see `github-auth` skill)
- Inside a git repository with a GitHub remote
### Quick Auth Detection
```bash
# Determine which method to use throughout this workflow
if command -v gh &>/dev/null && gh auth status &>/dev/null; then
AUTH="gh"
else
AUTH="git"
# Ensure we have a token for API calls
if [ -z "$GITHUB_TOKEN" ]; then
if _hermes_env="${HERMES_HOME:-$HOME/.hermes}/.env"; [ -f "$_hermes_env" ] && grep -q "^GITHUB_TOKEN=" "$_hermes_env"; then
GITHUB_TOKEN=$(grep "^GITHUB_TOKEN=" "$_hermes_env" | head -1 | cut -d= -f2 | tr -d '\n\r')
elif grep -q "github.com" ~/.git-credentials 2>/dev/null; then
GITHUB_TOKEN=$(uv run python "${HERMES_HOME:-$HOME/.hermes}/skills/github/github-auth/scripts/git-credential-token.py")
fi
fi
fi
echo "Using: $AUTH"
```
### Extracting Owner/Repo from the Git Remote
Many `curl` commands need `owner/repo`. Extract it from the git remote:
```bash
# Works for both HTTPS and SSH remote URLs
REMOTE_URL=$(git remote get-url origin)
OWNER_REPO=$(echo "$REMOTE_URL" | sed -E 's|.*github\.com[:/]||; s|\.git$||')
OWNER=$(echo "$OWNER_REPO" | cut -d/ -f1)
REPO=$(echo "$OWNER_REPO" | cut -d/ -f2)
echo "Owner: $OWNER, Repo: $REPO"
```
---
## 1. Branch Creation
This part is pure `git` — identical either way:
```bash
# Make sure you're up to date
git fetch origin
git checkout main && git pull origin main
# Create and switch to a new branch
git checkout -b feat/add-user-authentication
```
Branch naming conventions:
- `feat/description` — new features
- `fix/description` — bug fixes
- `refactor/description` — code restructuring
- `docs/description` — documentation
- `ci/description` — CI/CD changes
## 2. Making Commits
Use the agent's file tools (`write_file`, `patch`) to make changes, then commit:
```bash
# Stage specific files
git add src/auth.py src/models/user.py tests/test_auth.py
# Commit with a conventional commit message
git commit -m "feat: add JWT-based user authentication
- Add login/register endpoints
- Add User model with password hashing
- Add auth middleware for protected routes
- Add unit tests for auth flow"
```
Commit message format (Conventional Commits):
```
type(scope): short description
Longer explanation if needed. Wrap at 72 characters.
```
Types: `feat`, `fix`, `refactor`, `docs`, `test`, `ci`, `chore`, `perf`
## 3. Pushing and Creating a PR
### Push the Branch (same either way)
```bash
git push -u origin HEAD
```
### Create the PR
**With gh:**
```bash
gh pr create \
--title "feat: add JWT-based user authentication" \
--body "## Summary
- Adds login and register API endpoints
- JWT token generation and validation
## Test Plan
- [ ] Unit tests pass
Closes #42"
```
Options: `--draft`, `--reviewer user1,user2`, `--label "enhancement"`, `--base develop`
**With git + curl:**
```bash
BRANCH=$(git branch --show-current)
curl -s -X POST \
-H "Authorization: token $GITHUB_TOKEN" \
-H "Accept: application/vnd.github.v3+json" \
https://api.github.com/repos/$OWNER/$REPO/pulls \
-d "{
\"title\": \"feat: add JWT-based user authentication\",
\"body\": \"## Summary\nAdds login and register API endpoints.\n\nCloses #42\",
\"head\": \"$BRANCH\",
\"base\": \"main\"
}"
```
The response JSON includes the PR `number` — save it for later commands.
To create as a draft, add `"draft": true` to the JSON body.
## 4. Monitoring CI Status
### Check CI Status
**With gh:**
```bash
# One-shot check
gh pr checks
# Watch until all checks finish (polls every 10s)
gh pr checks --watch
```
**With git + curl:**
```bash
# Get the latest commit SHA on the current branch
SHA=$(git rev-parse HEAD)
# Query the combined status
curl -s \
-H "Authorization: token $GITHUB_TOKEN" \
https://api.github.com/repos/$OWNER/$REPO/commits/$SHA/status \
| python -c "
import sys, json
data = json.load(sys.stdin)
print(f\"Overall: {data['state']}\")
for s in data.get('statuses', []):
print(f\" {s['context']}: {s['state']} - {s.get('description', '')}\")"
# Also check GitHub Actions check runs (separate endpoint)
curl -s \
-H "Authorization: token $GITHUB_TOKEN" \
https://api.github.com/repos/$OWNER/$REPO/commits/$SHA/check-runs \
| python -c "
import sys, json
data = json.load(sys.stdin)
for cr in data.get('check_runs', []):
print(f\" {cr['name']}: {cr['status']} / {cr['conclusion'] or 'pending'}\")"
```
### Poll Until Complete (git + curl)
```bash
# Simple polling loop — check every 30 seconds, up to 10 minutes
SHA=$(git rev-parse HEAD)
for i in $(seq 1 20); do
STATUS=$(curl -s \
-H "Authorization: token $GITHUB_TOKEN" \
https://api.github.com/repos/$OWNER/$REPO/commits/$SHA/status \
| python -c "import sys,json; print(json.load(sys.stdin)['state'])")
echo "Check $i: $STATUS"
if [ "$STATUS" = "success" ] || [ "$STATUS" = "failure" ] || [ "$STATUS" = "error" ]; then
break
fi
sleep 30
done
```
## 5. Auto-Fixing CI Failures
When CI fails, diagnose and fix. This loop works with either auth method.
### Step 1: Get Failure Details
**With gh:**
```bash
# List recent workflow runs on this branch
gh run list --branch $(git branch --show-current) --limit 5
# View failed logs
gh run view <RUN_ID> --log-failed
```
**With git + curl:**
```bash
BRANCH=$(git branch --show-current)
# List workflow runs on this branch
curl -s \
-H "Authorization: token $GITHUB_TOKEN" \
"https://api.github.com/repos/$OWNER/$REPO/actions/runs?branch=$BRANCH&per_page=5" \
| python -c "
import sys, json
runs = json.load(sys.stdin)['workflow_runs']
for r in runs:
print(f\"Run {r['id']}: {r['name']} - {r['conclusion'] or r['status']}\")"
# Get failed job logs (download as zip, extract, read)
RUN_ID=<run_id>
curl -s -L \
-H "Authorization: token $GITHUB_TOKEN" \
https://api.github.com/repos/$OWNER/$REPO/actions/runs/$RUN_ID/logs \
-o /tmp/ci-logs.zip
cd /tmp && unzip -o ci-logs.zip -d ci-logs && cat ci-logs/*.txt
```
### Step 2: Fix and Push
After identifying the issue, use file tools (`patch`, `write_file`) to fix it:
```bash
git add <fixed_files>
git commit -m "fix: resolve CI failure in <check_name>"
git push
```
### Step 3: Verify
Re-check CI status using the commands from Section 4 above.
### Auto-Fix Loop Pattern
When asked to auto-fix CI, follow this loop:
1. Check CI status → identify failures
2. Read failure logs → understand the error
3. Use `read_file` + `patch`/`write_file` → fix the code
4. `git add . && git commit -m "fix: ..." && git push`
5. Wait for CI → re-check status
6. Repeat if still failing (up to 3 attempts, then ask the user)
## 6. Merging
**With gh:**
```bash
# Squash merge + delete branch (cleanest for feature branches)
gh pr merge --squash --delete-branch
# Enable auto-merge (merges when all checks pass)
gh pr merge --auto --squash --delete-branch
```
**With git + curl:**
```bash
PR_NUMBER=<number>
# Merge the PR via API (squash)
curl -s -X PUT \
-H "Authorization: token $GITHUB_TOKEN" \
https://api.github.com/repos/$OWNER/$REPO/pulls/$PR_NUMBER/merge \
-d "{
\"merge_method\": \"squash\",
\"commit_title\": \"feat: add user authentication (#$PR_NUMBER)\"
}"
# Delete the remote branch after merge
BRANCH=$(git branch --show-current)
git push origin --delete $BRANCH
# Switch back to main locally
git checkout main && git pull origin main
git branch -d $BRANCH
```
Merge methods: `"merge"` (merge commit), `"squash"`, `"rebase"`
### Enable Auto-Merge (curl)
```bash
# Auto-merge requires the repo to have it enabled in settings.
# This uses the GraphQL API since REST doesn't support auto-merge.
PR_NODE_ID=$(curl -s \
-H "Authorization: token $GITHUB_TOKEN" \
https://api.github.com/repos/$OWNER/$REPO/pulls/$PR_NUMBER \
| python -c "import sys,json; print(json.load(sys.stdin)['node_id'])")
curl -s -X POST \
-H "Authorization: token $GITHUB_TOKEN" \
https://api.github.com/graphql \
-d "{\"query\": \"mutation { enablePullRequestAutoMerge(input: {pullRequestId: \\\"$PR_NODE_ID\\\", mergeMethod: SQUASH}) { clientMutationId } }\"}"
```
## 7. Complete Workflow Example
```bash
# 1. Start from clean main
git checkout main && git pull origin main
# 2. Branch
git checkout -b fix/login-redirect-bug
# 3. (Agent makes code changes with file tools)
# 4. Commit
git add src/auth/login.py tests/test_login.py
git commit -m "fix: correct redirect URL after login
Preserves the ?next= parameter instead of always redirecting to /dashboard."
# 5. Push
git push -u origin HEAD
# 6. Create PR (picks gh or curl based on what's available)
# ... (see Section 3)
# 7. Monitor CI (see Section 4)
# 8. Merge when green (see Section 6)
```

# GitHub Repository Management
Create, clone, fork, configure, and manage GitHub repositories. Each section shows `gh` first, then the `git` + `curl` fallback.
## Prerequisites
- Authenticated with GitHub (see `github-auth` skill)
### Setup
```bash
if command -v gh &>/dev/null && gh auth status &>/dev/null; then
AUTH="gh"
else
AUTH="git"
if [ -z "$GITHUB_TOKEN" ]; then
if _hermes_env="${HERMES_HOME:-$HOME/.hermes}/.env"; [ -f "$_hermes_env" ] && grep -q "^GITHUB_TOKEN=" "$_hermes_env"; then
GITHUB_TOKEN=$(grep "^GITHUB_TOKEN=" "$_hermes_env" | head -1 | cut -d= -f2 | tr -d '\n\r')
elif grep -q "github.com" ~/.git-credentials 2>/dev/null; then
GITHUB_TOKEN=$(uv run python "${HERMES_HOME:-$HOME/.hermes}/skills/github/github-auth/scripts/git-credential-token.py")
fi
fi
fi
# Get your GitHub username (needed for several operations)
if [ "$AUTH" = "gh" ]; then
GH_USER=$(gh api user --jq '.login')
else
GH_USER=$(curl -s -H "Authorization: token $GITHUB_TOKEN" https://api.github.com/user | python -c "import sys,json; print(json.load(sys.stdin)['login'])")
fi
```
If you're inside a repo already:
```bash
REMOTE_URL=$(git remote get-url origin)
OWNER_REPO=$(echo "$REMOTE_URL" | sed -E 's|.*github\.com[:/]||; s|\.git$||')
OWNER=$(echo "$OWNER_REPO" | cut -d/ -f1)
REPO=$(echo "$OWNER_REPO" | cut -d/ -f2)
```

## 1. Cloning Repositories
Cloning is pure `git` — works identically either way:
```bash
# Clone via HTTPS (works with credential helper or token-embedded URL)
git clone https://github.com/owner/repo-name.git
# Clone into a specific directory
git clone https://github.com/owner/repo-name.git ./my-local-dir
# Shallow clone (faster for large repos)
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/owner/repo-name.git
# Clone a specific branch
git clone --branch develop https://github.com/owner/repo-name.git
# Clone via SSH (if SSH is configured)
git clone git@github.com:owner/repo-name.git
```
**With gh (shorthand):**
```bash
gh repo clone owner/repo-name
gh repo clone owner/repo-name -- --depth 1
```
## 2. Creating Repositories
**With gh:**
```bash
# Create a public repo and clone it
gh repo create my-new-project --public --clone
# Private, with description and license
gh repo create my-new-project --private --description "A useful tool" --license MIT --clone
# Under an organization
gh repo create my-org/my-new-project --public --clone
# From existing local directory
cd /path/to/existing/project
gh repo create my-project --source . --public --push
```
**With git + curl:**
```bash
# Create the remote repo via API
curl -s -X POST \
-H "Authorization: token $GITHUB_TOKEN" \
https://api.github.com/user/repos \
-d '{
"name": "my-new-project",
"description": "A useful tool",
"private": false,
"auto_init": true,
"license_template": "mit"
}'
# Clone it
git clone https://github.com/$GH_USER/my-new-project.git
cd my-new-project
# -- OR -- push an existing local directory to the new repo
cd /path/to/existing/project
git init
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit"
git remote add origin https://github.com/$GH_USER/my-new-project.git
git push -u origin main
```
To create under an organization:
```bash
curl -s -X POST \
-H "Authorization: token $GITHUB_TOKEN" \
https://api.github.com/orgs/my-org/repos \
-d '{"name": "my-new-project", "private": false}'
```
### From a Template
**With gh:**
```bash
gh repo create my-new-app --template owner/template-repo --public --clone
```
**With curl:**
```bash
curl -s -X POST \
-H "Authorization: token $GITHUB_TOKEN" \
https://api.github.com/repos/owner/template-repo/generate \
-d '{"owner": "'"$GH_USER"'", "name": "my-new-app", "private": false}'
```
## 3. Forking Repositories
**With gh:**
```bash
gh repo fork owner/repo-name --clone
```
**With git + curl:**
```bash
# Create the fork via API
curl -s -X POST \
-H "Authorization: token $GITHUB_TOKEN" \
https://api.github.com/repos/owner/repo-name/forks
# Wait a moment for GitHub to create it, then clone
sleep 3
git clone https://github.com/$GH_USER/repo-name.git
cd repo-name
# Add the original repo as "upstream" remote
git remote add upstream https://github.com/owner/repo-name.git
```
### Keeping a Fork in Sync
```bash
# Pure git — works everywhere
git fetch upstream
git checkout main
git merge upstream/main
git push origin main
```
**With gh (shortcut):**
```bash
gh repo sync $GH_USER/repo-name
```
## 4. Repository Information
**With gh:**
```bash
gh repo view owner/repo-name
gh repo list --limit 20
gh search repos "machine learning" --language python --sort stars
```
**With curl:**
```bash
# View repo details
curl -s \
-H "Authorization: token $GITHUB_TOKEN" \
https://api.github.com/repos/$OWNER/$REPO \
| python -c "
import sys, json
r = json.load(sys.stdin)
print(f\"Name: {r['full_name']}\")
print(f\"Description: {r['description']}\")
print(f\"Stars: {r['stargazers_count']} Forks: {r['forks_count']}\")
print(f\"Default branch: {r['default_branch']}\")
print(f\"Language: {r['language']}\")"
# List your repos
curl -s \
-H "Authorization: token $GITHUB_TOKEN" \
"https://api.github.com/user/repos?per_page=20&sort=updated" \
| python -c "
import sys, json
for r in json.load(sys.stdin):
vis = 'private' if r['private'] else 'public'
print(f\" {r['full_name']:40} {vis:8} {r.get('language', ''):10} ★{r['stargazers_count']}\")"
# Search repos
curl -s \
"https://api.github.com/search/repositories?q=machine+learning+language:python&sort=stars&per_page=10" \
| python -c "
import sys, json
for r in json.load(sys.stdin)['items']:
print(f\" {r['full_name']:40} ★{r['stargazers_count']:6} {r['description'][:60] if r['description'] else ''}\")"
```
## 5. Repository Settings
**With gh:**
```bash
gh repo edit --description "Updated description" --visibility public
gh repo edit --enable-wiki=false --enable-issues=true
gh repo edit --default-branch main
gh repo edit --add-topic "machine-learning,python"
gh repo edit --enable-auto-merge
```
**With curl:**
```bash
curl -s -X PATCH \
-H "Authorization: token $GITHUB_TOKEN" \
https://api.github.com/repos/$OWNER/$REPO \
-d '{
"description": "Updated description",
"has_wiki": false,
"has_issues": true,
"allow_auto_merge": true
}'
# Update topics
curl -s -X PUT \
-H "Authorization: token $GITHUB_TOKEN" \
-H "Accept: application/vnd.github.mercy-preview+json" \
https://api.github.com/repos/$OWNER/$REPO/topics \
-d '{"names": ["machine-learning", "python", "automation"]}'
```
## 6. Branch Protection
```bash
# View current protection
curl -s \
-H "Authorization: token $GITHUB_TOKEN" \
https://api.github.com/repos/$OWNER/$REPO/branches/main/protection
# Set up branch protection
curl -s -X PUT \
-H "Authorization: token $GITHUB_TOKEN" \
https://api.github.com/repos/$OWNER/$REPO/branches/main/protection \
-d '{
"required_status_checks": {
"strict": true,
"contexts": ["ci/test", "ci/lint"]
},
"enforce_admins": false,
"required_pull_request_reviews": {
"required_approving_review_count": 1
},
"restrictions": null
}'
```
## 7. Secrets Management (GitHub Actions)
**With gh:**
```bash
gh secret set API_KEY --body "your-secret-value"
gh secret set SSH_KEY < ~/.ssh/id_rsa
gh secret list
gh secret delete API_KEY
```
**With curl:**
Secrets require encryption with the repo's public key — more involved via API:
```bash
# Get the repo's public key for encrypting secrets
curl -s \
-H "Authorization: token $GITHUB_TOKEN" \
https://api.github.com/repos/$OWNER/$REPO/actions/secrets/public-key
# Encrypt and set (requires Python with PyNaCl)
python -c "
from base64 import b64encode
from nacl import encoding, public
import json, sys
# Get the public key
key_id = '<key_id_from_above>'
public_key = '<base64_key_from_above>'
# Encrypt
sealed = public.SealedBox(
public.PublicKey(public_key.encode('utf-8'), encoding.Base64Encoder)
).encrypt('your-secret-value'.encode('utf-8'))
print(json.dumps({
'encrypted_value': b64encode(sealed).decode('utf-8'),
'key_id': key_id
}))"
# Then PUT the encrypted secret
curl -s -X PUT \
-H "Authorization: token $GITHUB_TOKEN" \
https://api.github.com/repos/$OWNER/$REPO/actions/secrets/API_KEY \
-d '<output from python script above>'
# List secrets (names only, values hidden)
curl -s \
-H "Authorization: token $GITHUB_TOKEN" \
https://api.github.com/repos/$OWNER/$REPO/actions/secrets \
| python -c "
import sys, json
for s in json.load(sys.stdin)['secrets']:
print(f\" {s['name']:30} updated: {s['updated_at']}\")"
```
Note: For secrets, `gh secret set` is dramatically simpler. If setting secrets is needed and `gh` isn't available, recommend installing it for just that operation.
## 8. Releases
**With gh:**
```bash
gh release create v1.0.0 --title "v1.0.0" --generate-notes
gh release create v2.0.0-rc1 --draft --prerelease --generate-notes
gh release create v1.0.0 ./dist/binary --title "v1.0.0" --notes "Release notes"
gh release list
gh release download v1.0.0 --dir ./downloads
```
**With curl:**
```bash
# Create a release
curl -s -X POST \
-H "Authorization: token $GITHUB_TOKEN" \
https://api.github.com/repos/$OWNER/$REPO/releases \
-d '{
"tag_name": "v1.0.0",
"name": "v1.0.0",
"body": "## Changelog\n- Feature A\n- Bug fix B",
"draft": false,
"prerelease": false,
"generate_release_notes": true
}'
# List releases
curl -s \
-H "Authorization: token $GITHUB_TOKEN" \
https://api.github.com/repos/$OWNER/$REPO/releases \
| python -c "
import sys, json
for r in json.load(sys.stdin):
tag = r.get('tag_name', 'no tag')
print(f\" {tag:15} {r['name']:30} {'draft' if r['draft'] else 'published'}\")"
# Upload a release asset (binary file)
RELEASE_ID=<id_from_create_response>
curl -s -X POST \
-H "Authorization: token $GITHUB_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/octet-stream" \
"https://uploads.github.com/repos/$OWNER/$REPO/releases/$RELEASE_ID/assets?name=binary-amd64" \
--data-binary @./dist/binary-amd64
```
## 9. GitHub Actions Workflows
**With gh:**
```bash
gh workflow list
gh run list --limit 10
gh run view <RUN_ID>
gh run view <RUN_ID> --log-failed
gh run rerun <RUN_ID>
gh run rerun <RUN_ID> --failed
gh workflow run ci.yml --ref main
gh workflow run deploy.yml -f environment=staging
```
**With curl:**
```bash
# List workflows
curl -s \
-H "Authorization: token $GITHUB_TOKEN" \
https://api.github.com/repos/$OWNER/$REPO/actions/workflows \
| python -c "
import sys, json
for w in json.load(sys.stdin)['workflows']:
print(f\" {w['id']:10} {w['name']:30} {w['state']}\")"
# List recent runs
curl -s \
-H "Authorization: token $GITHUB_TOKEN" \
"https://api.github.com/repos/$OWNER/$REPO/actions/runs?per_page=10" \
| python -c "
import sys, json
for r in json.load(sys.stdin)['workflow_runs']:
print(f\" Run {r['id']} {r['name']:30} {r['conclusion'] or r['status']}\")"
# Download failed run logs

## Code Review Summary
**Verdict: [Approved ✅ | Changes Requested 🔴 | Reviewed 💬]** ([N] issues, [N] suggestions)
**PR:** #[number] — [title]
**Author:** @[username]
**Files changed:** [N] (+[additions] -[deletions])
### 🔴 Critical
<!-- Issues that MUST be fixed before merge -->
- **file.py:line** — [description]. Suggestion: [fix].
### ⚠️ Warnings
<!-- Issues that SHOULD be fixed, but not strictly blocking -->
- **file.py:line** — [description].
### 💡 Suggestions
<!-- Non-blocking improvements, style preferences, future considerations -->
- **file.py:line** — [description].
### ✅ Looks Good

*Reviewed by Hermes Agent*
```
## Severity Guide
| Level | Icon | When to use | Blocks merge? |
|-------|------|-------------|---------------|
| Critical | 🔴 | Security vulnerabilities, data loss risk, crashes, broken core functionality | Yes |
| Warning | ⚠️ | Bugs in non-critical paths, missing error handling, missing tests for new code | Usually yes |
| Suggestion | 💡 | Style improvements, refactoring ideas, performance hints, documentation gaps | No |
| Looks Good | ✅ | Clean patterns, good test coverage, clear naming, smart design decisions | N/A |
## Verdict Decision
- **Approved ✅** — Zero critical/warning items. Only suggestions or all clear.
- **Changes Requested 🔴** — Any critical or warning item exists.
- **Reviewed 💬** — Observations only (draft PRs, uncertain findings, informational).
## For Inline Comments
Prefix inline comments with the severity icon so they're scannable:
```
🔴 **Critical:** User input passed directly to SQL query — use parameterized queries to prevent injection.
```
```
⚠️ **Warning:** This error is silently swallowed. At minimum, log it.
```
```
💡 **Suggestion:** This could be simplified with a dict comprehension:
`{k: v for k, v in items if v is not None}`
```
```
✅ **Nice:** Good use of context manager here — ensures cleanup on exceptions.
```
## For Local (Pre-Push) Review
When reviewing locally before push, use the same structure but present it as a message to the user instead of a PR comment. Skip the PR metadata header and just start with the severity sections.
