Description

We're seeing quality issues in PR review workflows, and other workflows using GitHub MCP server.

We should explore improving the use of GitHub MCP server in Gemini CLI itself.

We should also consider adding instructions for using GitHub MCP server in GEMINI.md to instruct Gemini CLI correctly. We can define the instructions in this repo, then update /setup-github to append it to user's GEMINI.md (or create it if it doesn't exist already).

Research direction

Start by reviewing the GitHub MCP Server usage in Gemini CLI workflows and the /setup-github entry point. Define the repository instructions for GEMINI.md, then ensure /setup-github appends them or creates the file when needed. Done means PR review and other GitHub MCP workflows have clearer guidance and setup applies it consistently.
