SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Manually creating and managing GitHub issues through the web UI is slow and disrupts developer workflow, especially when adding structured metadata like labels, milestones, and threaded comments. This Skill eliminates that friction by letting you work with issues entirely via local markdown files that sync automatically to GitHub.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Local Issue Creation: Draft new GitHub issues by writing simple markdown files with YAML frontmatter for title, labels, milestones, and assignees, no web UI required.
  • Comment Management: Add, update, and track comments on new or existing issues directly in the local file, with changes synced to GitHub on push.
  • Automatic Organization: Issue files are automatically renamed with their GitHub issue number and moved to a closed folder when the issue is resolved, keeping your local issue directory tidy.
  • Use Case: A developer tracking a login bug can draft the issue offline with reproduction steps, add follow-up comments as they investigate, and push all changes to GitHub in one go without switching contexts.

Quick Start

Use the create-issue skill to draft a new high-priority bug report for the mobile app crash on startup by writing a markdown file in the .issues folder with the issue title, priority label, and crash reproduction steps in the body.
