Is it possible to count discussions by category?

Yes, the skill supports complex jq aggregations such as 'group_by(.category.name) | map({category: .[0].category.name, count: length})' to provide high-level summaries.

What is the advantage of the optional jq parameter?

If omitted, the skill returns the data schema and size information instead of the full dataset. This prevents terminal bloat and helps you understand the data structure before running a full query.

Do I need the GitHub CLI installed to use this skill?

Yes, this skill requires an authenticated GitHub CLI (gh) installation to securely fetch data from your repositories.

Can I query discussions from a repository other than the current one?

Absolutely. You can use the --repo owner/repo flag to target any public repository or private repositories you have permission to access.

How do I find discussions that haven't been answered yet?

You can use the built-in jq support with a filter like 'select(.answer == null)' to specifically isolate threads that are still waiting for a response.
