This Skill enables true GitHub sub-issue relationships by resolving issue node IDs and invoking the GraphQL addSubIssue mutation, turning references into a real hierarchical link rather than a simple text note.
Provide the parent and child issue references, then generate and run a GraphQL mutation that inlines the resolved IDs to create the sub-issue relationship.

Create a GitHub sub-issue relationship by resolving both issues to their GraphQL node IDs and applying the addSubIssue mutation, which establishes a real parent-child hierarchy instead of a plain text reference.
Yes, you can attach sub-issues by providing references in owner/repo#parent and owner/repo#child formats, or by using full GitHub issue URLs as inputs to resolve the necessary node IDs.
Inlining resolved node IDs directly into the mutation text avoids shell-unsafe GraphQL variable usage, keeping the generated shell command safe and executable while maintaining the correct parent-child link.
A real GitHub sub-issue uses the GraphQL addSubIssue mutation to create a true hierarchical parent-child link, whereas a text reference is simply a note in the issue body with no structural relationship.
Yes, the process verifies that both the parent and child GitHub issues exist and successfully resolves their GraphQL node IDs before proceeding to execute the addSubIssue mutation.
Build an issue tree by resolving parent and child issue node IDs and applying the GraphQL addSubIssue mutation to each pair, creating real hierarchical links suitable for tracking tasks and sub-tasks.
