Safety Rules
- Confirm before any state-changing operation (create/edit/delete/merge/close).
- Never upload secrets as assets.
- Treat
gh apias powerful: confirm before any write operation. - Never delete or move published releases/tags unless explicitly requested.
- When creating PRs, always set an assignee: default to
@meunless the user explicitly names someone else. - When creating PRs, apply relevant existing labels when possible; auto-pick from PR context (title/body/branch + changed paths) and avoid creating new labels unless truly necessary.
- If labels must be created, retrieve existing labels first (
gh label list), propose the minimal set consistent with repo naming, and confirm beforegh label create.
Confirmation Policy
Read-only commands are always OK.
Require confirmation:
gh issue create/edit/close/reopen/deletegh pr create/edit/close/merge/reviewgh repo create/edit/rename/archive/delete/syncgh release create/edit/delete,gh release upload,gh release delete-assetgh secret set/delete,gh variable set/deletegh run rerun,gh run cancelgh apicalls that mutate state (POST/PATCH/PUT/DELETE)
Read-Only (No Confirmation Needed)
