Commenting on Issues

Purpose

Posts updates to an existing issue using the gh issue comment command.

1. Safety & Verification

• Mandatory Context: Ensure gh-verifying-context has been run and confirmed by the user.
• Human-in-the-Loop: You MUST present the proposed comment body and the target issue number/URL to the user before execution.
• Sensitivity Check: Do not include internal credentials or proprietary details in comments.

2. Common Workflows

Workflow: Post Update

Adds a simple text comment.

Command:

gh issue comment <issue-number> --body "Updated the implementation."

Workflow: Multi-line Comment

Use quotes for the body string.

Command:

gh issue comment <issue-number> --body "Line 1
Line 2"

3. Best Practices

Be concise and clear in your updates.
