FAQPage Schema
How do I manage my GitHub issues backlog and sync it with local task planning?▼

Managing a GitHub issues backlog is automated by connecting GitHub Issues to local artifacts, allowing you to view, create, pick, and close issues while synchronizing plans directly to your local task files.

Can I create a GitHub issue branch and update my local plan automatically?▼

Yes, picking a GitHub issue automatically creates a working branch, adds an in-progress label, and writes the issue plan to a local tasks/todo.md file to bridge remote tracking with local development.

How do I automatically group and prioritize GitHub issues by labels?▼

Viewing open GitHub issues groups them by priority labels like P0-critical, P1-high, P2-medium, and P3-low, presenting a concise backlog summary so teams can easily maintain a prioritized queue.

Do I need the gh CLI installed to automate GitHub backlog workflows?▼

Yes, automating GitHub backlog management requires gh CLI access to interact with GitHub Issues, ensuring the Skill can fetch, create, and update issue states directly from your repository.

What is the best way to close GitHub issues and document work summaries?▼
