Does this work with gh issue create across multiple repositories?▼

Yes, the Skill works across multiple repositories using the gh CLI. It automatically detects and selects the appropriate issue template for bugs, features, or tasks from the specific repository you target, ensuring consistent structure regardless of the project.

What is the best way to enforce required fields in GitHub issue templates?▼

The best way to enforce required fields in GitHub issues is to use a template-driven automation Skill. It reads your .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE configurations, validates the user intent against required fields, and ensures the generated issue maintains structural consistency before creation.

Do I need the gh CLI installed to create GitHub issues from templates?▼
