Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Due Date Calculation: Automatically determines which follow-ups are due based on their frequency and last checked date.
  • Targeted Checks: Allows checking specific items by number or title, or all active items.
  • GH Command Execution: Runs predefined gh commands to perform checks on items.
  • Status Reporting & Memory Updates: Reports findings and updates the Last checked date in memory.
  • Completion Tracking: Identifies when an item's "Done when" condition is met and prompts for confirmation to move it to completed.

Quick Start

Use the check-in skill to check all items that are due or overdue.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate periodic follow-ups for tracked GitHub tasks?

Automate periodic follow-ups by calculating due dates based on frequency and last checked dates. The skill executes predefined 'gh' commands for each selected item, reports findings, and updates tracking dates in global memory automatically.

How do I run a check-in on all overdue items at once?

Run a check-in on all overdue items by executing the skill without specific item arguments. It filters items based on provided arguments or checks all active items, running predefined 'gh' commands to gather and report current status updates.

Can I track specific recurring GitHub tasks instead of checking everything?

Track specific recurring GitHub tasks by providing item numbers or titles as arguments. The skill filters tracked items based on these arguments, ensuring targeted checks only process the selected follow-ups rather than the entire active list.

How does completion tracking work for automated task follow-ups?

Completion tracking for automated task follow-ups identifies when an item's predefined 'Done when' condition is met. Upon detection, the skill prompts for confirmation before moving the item to completed status and updating the global memory records.

Do I need to configure global memory before automating task follow-ups?

Configuring global memory is required before automating task follow-ups. The skill relies on global memory to store tracked items, their frequencies, and last checked dates, using this data to calculate due dates and update tracking information after each run.

What is the best way to manage recurring GitHub reporting without manual intervention?

Manage recurring GitHub reporting by executing predefined 'gh' commands on a calculated schedule. The skill determines due dates from frequency settings, runs the necessary GitHub CLI commands, and reports findings while updating memory to prevent missed follow-ups.
