SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Development teams often struggle to move from issue tracking to actual coding work. This skill bridges GitHub issues with the development workflow by creating branches, assigning work, and posting contextual updates to keep the issue and code in sync.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Check Out Existing Issue Branch: locate and switch to a branch linked to an issue to resume work.
  • Show Development Context: display issue details, linked branches, open PRs, and related issues to maintain alignment with the codebase.
  • Branch Naming & Readiness: ensure branch naming follows conventions and that the issue has acceptance criteria before starting.

Quick Start

Start development on issue NUMBER to create a branch, assign yourself, and begin work.
