What's Wrong?

Description

The /install-github-app command fails with an invalid flag error when checking GitHub CLI authentication status.

## Environment

  • OS: Linux
  • gh version: (run gh --version to check)

## Suggested Fix

Replace gh auth status -a with gh auth status (no flags) or use a valid flag combination.

What Should Happen?

Expected Behavior

The command should use valid gh auth status flags. According to gh auth status --help, only these flags exist:

  • -h, --hostname - Check a specific hostname's auth status
  • -t, --show-token - Display the auth token

Error Messages/Logs

## Error

  unknown shorthand flag: 'a' in -a
