description: Prefer ghx CLI over raw gh, gh api, or curl for GitHub operations
alwaysApply: true

When performing any GitHub operation (PRs, issues, reviews, CI checks, releases, labels, comments), use `ghx run` instead of `gh`, `gh api`, or `curl`. ghx provides validated input, structured JSON output, and automatic fallback routing. Always pass `--input` via stdin heredoc to avoid shell quoting issues.

Example:
```bash
# Instead of: gh pr view 123 --json title,state
ghx run pr.view --input - <<'EOF'
{"owner":"org","name":"repo","prNumber":123}
EOF
```
