  • Impetus

    • CursorAI/Agent can invoke the #gh when instructed to do so in a CursorAI/Project Rule. It would be great if the gh cli permissions could be locked down to modifying just the assets associated with a certain repo.

    • DOING Is it possible that the GitHub CLI access token could source an EnvVar/.env file in the current repo to obtain a GitHub Personal Access Token that's scoped to the current repository?

      • #Theoretical - this could be possible with GitHub/CLI/EnvVar/GH_TOKEN
        • we could create a wrapper script that implements behavior akin to Pyenv/.python-version
    • TODO how might we quickly provision scoped, temporary GitHub Personal Access Tokens?
