GitHub — pi-github Extension

The pi-github extension provides /gh-* commands for common GitHub operations. All commands also work as /github-* variants.

Prerequisites

• gh CLI installed and authenticated
• For repo-scoped commands: run from a git repo, or specify the repo

Commands + Agent Tools

The pi-github extension provides /gh-* commands for user-initiated operations and LLM tools for agentic workflows (PR review thread resolution).

Commands

Command	What it does
/gh-prs [mine|review-requested] [repo]	List open PRs
/gh-issues [mine|label:name] [repo]	List open issues
/gh-status [repo]	Repo dashboard: PRs, issues, CI, branch PR
/gh-actions [branch] [repo]	Recent workflow runs
/gh-notifications	Unread GitHub notifications
/gh-pr-create [base]	Create PR with LLM-generated summary
/gh-pr-review [number|repo#N|URL]	Show PR review feedback
/gh-pr-fix [number|repo#N|URL]	Fix unresolved review threads
/gh-pr-merge [number|repo#N|URL] [--squash|--merge|--rebase]	Merge PR + full cleanup

PR Thread Tools (for agents fixing review feedback)

These tools use gh CLI under the hood — no API tokens needed. Always prefer these over raw REST/GraphQL calls.

Tool	Purpose
github_review_thread_reply	Reply to a PR review thread (thread_id, message)
github_resolve_review_thread	Mark a review thread as resolved (thread_id) — MANDATORY after each fix
github_post_pr_comment	Post a summary comment on a PR (owner, repo, pr_number, body)

Repo Reference Syntax

Commands accept flexible repo/PR references anywhere in args:

Format	Example
GitHub URL	https://github.com/owner/repo/pull/123
Owner/repo#N	espennilsen/pi#96
Repo#N (with default owner)	pi#96
Owner/repo	espennilsen/pi
Plain number	96
No args	Auto-detect from current branch

Default Owner

Set in settings.json to skip typing the owner:

{ "pi-github": { "defaultOwner": "espennilsen" } }

Detailed Workflows

For complex PR operations, see the reference docs:

• Fixing PR review threads — references/pr-fix.md Read when fixing unresolved review feedback, resolving threads, or using /gh-pr-fix. ⚠️ Mandatory: after pushing code fixes, resolve ALL threads via GraphQL resolveReviewThread.

• Parallel PR fixes — references/pr-fix-parallel.md Read when fixing review feedback across multiple PRs simultaneously using parallel subagents (pool or orchestrator mode).

• Merging PRs — references/pr-merge.md Read when merging a PR, resolving merge conflicts, cleaning up branches/worktrees, or using /gh-pr-merge.

• Creating PRs — references/pr-create.md Read when creating a PR with a generated summary, or using /gh-pr-create.

Raw gh CLI

For anything the commands don't cover:

# Structured output
gh pr list --json number,title --jq '.[] | "#\(.number) \(.title)"'

# GraphQL
gh api graphql -f query='{ viewer { login } }'

# API calls
gh api repos/owner/repo/contributors --jq '.[].login'

Conventions

• Default merge strategy: squash
• Tag releases as v<semver>
• Use --json + --jq for structured output
• Always use worktrees for feature branches — never git checkout in main dir
