    "incantation": "When an issue has artifacts to manage, use `gh issue artifact` subcommands to create, edit, list, view, download, or delete them; identify artifacts by GitHub URL and use `--attach` for image or video files in Markdown documents.",

      "gh issue artifact create <issue-number-or-url> <markdown-file> --attach <image-or-video-file>",

    "gotchas": [
      "Availability: public preview",
      "Non-interactive: `gh issue artifact delete` supports `--yes` to confirm deletion without prompting.",
      "Non-interactive: `gh issue artifact download --output -` writes the artifact content to stdout.",
      "Non-interactive: `gh issue artifact create --body-file -` reads artifact content from standard input.",
      "--attach <file>: Attach an image or video; format `<file>#<image alt text>`.",
      "--json <fields>: Output selected fields as JSON.",
      "--output <file>: Write a single downloaded artifact to a file; `-` writes to stdout.",
      "Prerequisite: Issue artifacts are in preview; the 2.103.2 release notes say the commands work only for repositories enrolled in the private preview.",
      "Markdown documents support image and video attachments with `--attach`."
