SKILL.md

name: glab description: Operate GitLab CLI (`glab`) for authentication checks, host and repository context inspection, merge request/issue/CI workflows, and safe command planning. Use when tasks mention `glab`, GitLab merge requests/issues/pipelines/releases, or GitLab API operations from the terminal.

GitLab CLI

Intent Router

Request	Reference	Load When
Install tool, first-time setup	`references/install-and-setup.md`	User needs to install glab or do initial authentication
Command patterns, workflows	`references/command-cookbook.md`	User needs MR/issue/CI/release patterns or workflow examples
GitLab concepts, organization	`references/gitlab-concepts.md`	User asks about groups/projects, namespaces, runners, visibility, or CI variables

Workflow

Run preflight before GitLab CLI workflows.
Check auth status and active host context.
Choose a core command track and begin with inspect commands.
Require explicit confirmation before write/delete actions.
Re-check status and summarize outcomes.

Preflight

Use bundled scripts:

scripts/glab-preflight.sh
scripts/glab-auth-status.sh
scripts/glab-context.sh
scripts/glab-diagnostics.sh [--json] [--out <file>]

If the environment cannot access the default config location, set:

export GLAB_CONFIG_DIR=/tmp/glab-config

Core Command Tracks

Auth and host checks: glab auth status, glab auth login
Repository, issue, and MR inspection: glab repo view, glab issue list, glab mr list, glab mr view <id>
CI and release inspection: glab ci list, glab ci view, glab release list
API calls: glab api <path> for focused GitLab API reads.

Safety Guardrails

Inspect first with list/view commands.
Ask for explicit confirmation before commands that create/edit/close/delete resources.
Confirm active host and project before mutating operations.
Never print tokens or secrets.

Troubleshooting

If auth fails, run glab auth login then re-run scripts/glab-auth-status.sh.
If host context is wrong, verify config and re-check with scripts/glab-context.sh.
If network/API calls fail, collect scripts/glab-diagnostics.sh --json output before retry.

# Verify auth and inspect the current merge request in the working branch
glab auth status
glab mr list --state=opened
glab mr view
