Automating backlog item creation is best handled by using the add-item skill, which eliminates manual entry by creating repository issues via gh issue create and automatically linking them to a GitHub Project while updating relevant custom fields like priority and size.

Do I need the gh CLI to create issues and update GitHub Project fields?▼

Yes, you need the gh CLI, specifically the gh issue create command, to generate the repository issues. The skill also relies on the compass-rose gh-api-scripts skill to link the issue to the project and update custom fields like priority, size, and status.

How does interactive issue creation work for GitHub Projects?▼

Interactive issue creation works by prompting you for the title, description, priority, size, and status of the work item. Once provided, it automatically creates the issue in the repository and links it to the configured GitHub Project with the specified custom fields updated.

Why are my GitHub Project custom fields not updating when I create issues?▼

GitHub Project custom fields may not update if the project lacks the expected fields, or if there is improper authentication and configuration. The skill requires a properly configured GitHub Project with the expected priority, size, and status fields to update them successfully.
