UTILITY SKILL: Apply this skill to GitHub: gh CLI usage, PR conflict resolution, commit messages, issue/PR creation, inline comments, sub-issues, review style, and public surface path hygiene. Preserve existing repo conventions.
USE FOR: GitHub: gh CLI usage, PR conflict resolution, commit messages, issue/PR creation, inline comments, sub-issues, review style, public surface path hygiene; related file edits; verification and handoff.
DO NOT USE FOR: unrelated domains, broad rewrites outside the request, generated runtime outputs, or replacing repo-specific source of truth.
1. Boundary
This skill owns GitHub mechanics: gh usage, issue/PR state inspection,
commit and PR-publication rules, inline comments, and public wording/path
hygiene. It supports review workflows but does not own the
guardian/critic review engine or the user-facing review-comment trigger.
2. Workflow
- Inspect the relevant files, current repo conventions, and
git status. - Read Preserved Guidance before changing behavior or giving detailed instructions.
- Before branch publication or PR creation, verify branch, upstream, base, head, and clean status; use the explicit same-name remote destination workflow described in the preserved guidance.
- Make the smallest scoped change that satisfies the request.
- Run the checks named in the preserved guidance or the nearest repo harness.
- Report verification results and any remaining risk.
3. Examples
For a request in this domain, load preserved guidance, update the relevant source, run focused checks, and summarize the result.

5. Troubleshooting
If Waza or repo validation disagrees with preserved guidance, follow the stricter rule and record the exception in the handoff.
