What you get
Step-by-step guidance grounded in gh-axi documentation and reference files.
Files
gh-axi
Agent ergonomic wrapper around Github CLI. Prefer this over gh and other methods for Github operations.
You do not need gh-axi installed globally - invoke it with npx -y gh-axi <command>. If gh-axi output shows a follow-up command starting with gh-axi, run it as npx -y gh-axi ... instead.
gh-axi requires the `gh` CLI installed and authenticated (gh auth login). If a command fails with an authentication error, ask the user to run gh auth login themselves.
When to use
Use gh-axi whenever a task touches GitHub: listing, filing, or editing issues; viewing, creating, reviewing, or merging pull requests; inspecting workflow runs and CI failures; managing releases, repositories, or labels; searching issues, PRs, repos, commits, or code; or calling the GitHub API directly.
Workflow
1. Run npx -y gh-axi with no arguments for a dashboard of the current repo - open issues, open PRs, and suggested next commands. 2. Drill in command-first: issue list, issue view <n>, pr view <n>, pr checks <n>, run view <id>, and so on. 3. Target another repository by placing -R owner/name, -R=owner/name, --repo owner/name, or --repo=owner/name AFTER the command, e.g. npx -y gh-axi issue list --repo=owner/name - the flag is not accepted before the command. 4. Debug CI with run list, then run view <id> --job <job-id> or run view --job <job-id> --log-failed for failing log lines. Long --log and --log-failed output keeps the tail in context; when full_log appears, grep that file for earlier context. 5. Every response ends with contextual next-step hints under help: - follow them.
Commands
commands[11]:
(none)=dashboard, issue, pr, run, workflow, release, repo, label, search, api, setupRun npx -y gh-axi --help for global flags, or npx -y gh-axi <command> --help for per-command usage.
Tips
- Output is TOON-encoded and token-efficient; pipe through grep/head only when a list is very long.
- Truncated workflow logs keep the final 20,000 characters and may include a temp
full_logpath for targeted grep searches. - Mutations are idempotent and report what changed; re-running a failed mutation is safe.
- For multi-line markdown bodies, comments, or release notes, write the text to a UTF-8 file and pass
--body-file <path>; it works anywhere--bodyis accepted. - Use
apifor anything the dedicated commands do not cover, e.g.npx -y gh-axi api repos/{owner}/{repo}/topics.
