GitLab CLI (glab)
When to Use This Skill
Use glab for GitLab repositories. To detect GitLab:
git remote -v | grep -i gitlab
If the remote contains gitlab.com or a known GitLab instance, use this skill.
Before Any Operation
Always verify authentication first:
glab auth status
If not authenticated, guide the user to run glab auth login.

glab ci statusbefore suggestingglab ci run -
Use
--web: When the user might benefit from the browser UI
