GitHub

Purpose

Operate on GitHub: pull requests, issues, Actions workflows, releases, project boards, and code review etiquette.

When to Use

• User wants to open / merge / review a PR
• User wants to file or triage an issue
• User wants to set up GitHub Actions
• User wants to publish a release

When NOT to Use

• Pure git questions (route to git)
• Pure code review feedback (route to code-review)

Capabilities

• Draft PR descriptions
• Issue templates and triage
• GitHub Actions YAML
• Branch protection rules
• Releases and tags
• CODEOWNERS, labels, projects

Inputs

• Repo context (visibility, branch protection)
• Goal (open PR, fix workflow, etc.)

Safety

• Don't write secrets into workflow files
• Pin Actions to SHA, not tag, for security
• Warn about pull_request_target and other trigger risks
