pinbox link creates an item in an external tracker and stores a persistent two-way
link. From then on, thread messages are mirrored in both directions. Reach for it when a
pin needs to live where the rest of your team already works.
Usage
Arguments

{"ok":true,"data":…} envelope.Connectors
Two connectors ship today. The hub only offers one when its requirements are met.pinbox doctor reports the gh half.
Examples

JSON
data is the full updated pin — the same shape pinbox show
returns — with the new link appended to links[]:

Errors
gh is the problem, the hint names the fix directly: install GitHub CLI and run
gh auth login if it is missing, or just gh auth login if it is installed but logged
out.
Next: check
links[] with pinbox show, or confirm gh is usable
with pinbox doctor.
