What problem does it solve?

Automatically convert feature plans or PRDs into GitHub issues, selecting between a single issue or an epic with multiple task issues to match scope.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automatically determines single vs epic + tasks based on plan complexity and scope.
  • Generates well-structured issue bodies with summary, acceptance criteria, and task breakdowns.
  • Supports linking tasks to a parent epic and attaching references to PRDs or plan files.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert a PRD into GitHub issues automatically?

To convert a PRD into GitHub issues, provide the feature plan file so the system can read it, classify tasks by complexity, and generate structured issue bodies with acceptance criteria via gh CLI commands.

How do I create a GitHub epic with linked task issues from a feature plan?

You can create a GitHub epic with linked task issues by providing a complex feature plan; the system determines if an epic is needed, creates the parent issue, and attaches child tasks with references to the original plan.

How do I break down a feature plan into tasks across different services?

To break down a feature plan into tasks across different services, the system reads your plan file and derives distributed task issues, automatically applying labels and references to match the architectural layers described.

Does this tool work with the gh CLI to generate GitHub issues?

Yes, it works with the gh CLI by emitting ready-to-run commands and body templates, allowing you to create single issues or full epics with properly linked task issues, labels, and PRD references directly from your plan.

When should I generate a single GitHub issue instead of an epic with multiple tasks?

You should generate a single GitHub issue instead of an epic when the feature plan has a narrow scope and low complexity, whereas broader plans spanning multiple layers automatically trigger the creation of a parent epic with linked task issues.
