Does this skill require the GitHub CLI (gh) installed?

No, this skill is designed to be environment-agnostic and uses curl with the GitHub REST API directly for all operations.

How does it handle security for my GitHub token?

The skill uses a GH_TOKEN environment variable or a secure configuration entry, passing it as a Bearer token in encrypted API calls.

What happens if a reviewer leaves a comment on the generated PR?

In --watch or --reviews-only mode, the skill detects new review comments and spawns an agent to address the feedback and update the PR automatically.

Can I use gh-issues on repositories where I don't have push access?

Yes, by using the --fork flag, the skill will push code to your personal fork and open a cross-repository pull request to the source project.

Can I specify which AI model implements the fixes?

Yes, the --model flag allows you to choose specific models for the sub-agents, enabling you to use more powerful models for complex fixes.
