Need	Read

Always

• Use the requested repo. Otherwise read github.repo with standalone jr-rpc config get github.repo.
• Pass --repo owner/repo to gh. Use git -C PATH for local repos.
• Read each applicable AGENTS.md before edits.
• Keep unrelated work. Never delete refs or make destructive merges.
• Force-push only with --force-with-lease, and only to branches Junior pushed or the requester named.
• Use repository evidence. Report only checks you ran.
• Push before github_createPullRequest. Never ask for a token for bot pushes.
• When an error names a tool, use it. Change permissions only when GitHub rejected the request.
• Stop for an unclear target, missing access, destructive work, or a GitHub permission failure.
• Code changes always end in a pushed branch and a PR. Do not ask whether to open one. Skip it only when the user opts out or asks for investigation only.
• Open the PR ready for review when the work is complete and the checks pass. Open a draft when work, checks, or decisions remain. A scope or follow-up question is not a reason to stop: open the PR, and name the question in the PR body and the report.
• Link the PR. Mention checks only when they failed or were skipped.

Do not install or repair the GitHub plugin from this skill.
