SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires gh, jq, git, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Keeps GitHub Projects v2 boards and issue workflows consistent, auditable, and easy to operate by wrapping the gh CLI with validated operations, GraphQL verification, and role-attributed comments so agents and teams don't need to run manual commands or parse raw CLI output.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Board view: fetches project items, groups issues by Status field, and displays epic-to-story relationships for quick overviews.
  • Issue creation: create epics or stories, add parent links, set initial status, and add items to the project with validation.
  • Status transitions: update single-select Status with option ID resolution and GraphQL verification to prevent silent failures.
  • Comments, assignment, milestones, PR operations, and flexible querying for common project-management workflows with robust error handling and auto-recovery for missing items.
  • Use case: a product manager can ask the agent to create an epic, add stories, transition statuses through human gates, and document each step with attribution comments.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to "Show the project board and group issues by status for the team repository."
