name: github-repo-check description: Verify implementation status by querying GitHub API for PRs, issues, Actions, and deployments. Use when checking remote repo activity.

Purpose

Query GitHub API to verify implementation status of components/features. Returns evidence-based status levels using PR, issue, Actions, and deployment data.

When to Use

• Directly invoked: /github-repo-check authentication
• Checking PR/issue status for a component
• Verifying CI/CD and deployment status
• When invoked by other skills (like /project-status)

Input

Component or feature name(s) to verify. Examples:

• /github-repo-check authentication
• /github-repo-check user-dashboard payments

Note: Component searches are case-insensitive. /github-repo-check Auth and /github-repo-check auth will find the same PRs and issues.

---

Authentication

Step 1: Check gh CLI Availability

The gh CLI is preferred because it handles authentication automatically.

Copygh auth status 2>/dev/null && echo "gh available" || echo "gh not available"

Step 2: Authentication Method

If gh CLI is available and authenticated: Use gh api commands directly. No additional configuration needed.

If gh CLI is unavailable: Fall back to GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable from .env.local:

Copy# .env.local
GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_xxxxxxxxxxxx

Use curl with the token:

Copycurl -H "Authorization: token $TOKEN" "https://api.github.com/..."

---

Configuration Discovery

Step 1: Check for Config File

Use the Read tool to check if .entourage/repos.json exists.

If the file does not exist:

Copy> No repository configuration found. Create `.entourage/repos.json` with your repository settings.

Step 2: Extract GitHub Repos

Look for github field in each repo entry (format: owner/repo):

Copy{
  "repos": [
    {
      "name": "entourage-web",
      "path": "~/code/entourage-web",
      "github": "my-entourage/entourage-web"
    }
  ]
}

Step 3: No GitHub Configuration

If no repos have a github field configured:

Copy> No GitHub configuration found. Add `github` field to repos in `.entourage/repos.json`.

---

GitHub API Queries

For each component/feature, run these queries against each configured GitHub repo:

1. Search PRs Mentioning Component

Copy# Using gh CLI
gh api "search/issues?q=repo:OWNER/REPO+type:pr+COMPONENT_NAME" --jq '.items[] | {number, title, state, merged_at}'

# Using curl
curl -H "Authorization: token $TOKEN" \
  "https://api.github.com/search/issues?q=repo:OWNER/REPO+type:pr+COMPONENT_NAME"

2. Recent Merged PRs

Copygh api "repos/OWNER/REPO/pulls?state=closed&base=main&per_page=20" \
  --jq '.[] | select(.merged_at != null) | {number, title, merged_at}'

3. Search Issues

Copygh api "search/issues?q=repo:OWNER/REPO+type:issue+COMPONENT_NAME" \
  --jq '.items[] | {number, title, state, labels: [.labels[].name]}'

4. GitHub Actions Status

Copygh api "repos/OWNER/REPO/actions/runs?branch=main&per_page=5" \
  --jq '.workflow_runs[] | {name, conclusion, created_at}'

5. Deployments (if configured)

Copygh api "repos/OWNER/REPO/deployments?environment=production&per_page=5" \
  --jq '.[] | {environment, created_at, description}'

6. Check PR Reviews (for open PRs)

Copygh api "repos/OWNER/REPO/pulls/PR_NUMBER/reviews" \
  --jq '.[] | {state, user: .user.login}'

---

Evidence Synthesis

Apply this decision tree to determine component status:

Copy1. Deployment to production exists for this component?
   YES -> Status: Shipped (Very High confidence)

2. PR merged + most recent Actions run passing?
   YES -> Status: Done (Very High confidence)

3. PR merged to main?
   YES -> Status: Done (High confidence)

4. Open PR with approving reviews?
   YES -> Status: In Review (High confidence)

5. Open PR (review requested)?
   YES -> Status: In Review (Medium confidence)

6. Open PR (no reviews)?
   YES -> Status: In Progress (Medium confidence)

7. GitHub Issue with "in progress" or similar label?
   YES -> Status: In Progress (Medium confidence)

8. GitHub Issue exists (open)?
   YES -> Status: Backlog (High confidence)

9. No GitHub evidence found?
   -> Status: Unknown
   -> Output: "No GitHub evidence found. Defer to /local-repo-check for local evidence."

Error Handling

gh CLI Not Authenticated

Copy> gh CLI not authenticated. Run `gh auth login` or add `GITHUB_TOKEN` to `.env.local`.

Token Invalid/Expired

If API returns 401:

Copy> GitHub API error: 401 Unauthorized. Run `gh auth login` or check your token.

Rate Limited

If API returns 403 with rate limit headers:

Copy> GitHub API rate limit reached. Resets at [time]. Using local evidence only.

Repository Not Found

If API returns 404:

Copy> Repository 'owner/repo' not found or not accessible. Check `github` field in repos.json.

Output Format

With GitHub Configuration

Copy## GitHub Scan: [Component Name]

| Repository | Evidence | Status | Confidence |
|------------|----------|--------|------------|
| owner/repo | PR #42 merged, CI passing | Done | Very High |

### GitHub Details

**owner/repo:**
- PR: #42 "Add authentication" - merged Jan 8
- Actions: Build, Test passed
- Deployment: prod-v1.2.0 (Jan 8 14:32 UTC)

Without GitHub Configuration

Copy## GitHub Scan

No GitHub configuration found. Add `github` field to repos in `.entourage/repos.json`.

Example:
{
  "repos": [
    {
      "name": "my-repo",
      "path": "~/code/my-repo",
      "github": "owner/my-repo"
    }
  ]
}

Multiple Components

When checking multiple components, output a summary table followed by details:

Copy## GitHub Scan Summary

| Component | Status | Evidence | Source | Confidence |
|-----------|--------|----------|--------|------------|
| auth | Done | PR #42 merged, CI passing | owner/repo | Very High |
| dashboard | In Review | PR #48 open, 2 approvals | owner/repo | High |
