What problem does it solve?

Large GitHub epic issues often contain many planned features that need to be split into smaller, trackable sub‑issues. Managing this manually is time‑consuming and error‑prone.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Epic Analysis: Reads the epic, validates its type, and extracts the “Planned Features” section.
  • Sub‑Issue Drafting: Generates titles, types, labels, bodies, and parent linkage for each feature.
  • User Confirmation Loop: Presents a full breakdown for review, allowing edits before creation.
  • Automated Creation: Uses GitHub CLI and GraphQL to create sub‑issues sequentially, preserving order and optional blocking relationships.
  • Reporting: Returns a summary table with issue numbers and URLs.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to break down epic #123 into sub‑issues.
