Why use GraphQL instead of standard gh commands?

GraphQL allows for more complex, atomic operations and precise data retrieval that standard CLI commands often struggle with or do not natively support.

Can it handle bulk PR updates?

Yes, the skill provides patterns for batch operations and pagination using the GitHub API combined with jq for efficient data filtering.

Does this require the GitHub CLI to be installed?

Yes, it works alongside the 'gh' CLI and includes built-in guidance to help you verify or upgrade to the latest version for full feature compatibility.

How does this skill help with PR review threads?

It uses specific GraphQL mutations to resolve or reply to threads, which is significantly more reliable than standard CLI comment commands for multi-step workflows.
