SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the process of identifying, fixing, and creating pull requests for GitHub issues, significantly reducing the manual effort involved in issue resolution and maintenance.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Issue Triage & Fixing: Fetches GitHub issues based on specified criteria (labels, assignees, milestones) and spawns sub-agents to automatically implement fixes.
  • Pull Request Generation & Monitoring: Creates pull requests for the fixes, and can optionally monitor them for review comments and spawn agents to address feedback.
  • Use Case: Automatically find all 'bug' labeled issues in a repository, have sub-agents fix them, and open PRs, then monitor those PRs for review comments and automatically reply to them.

Quick Start

Use the gh-issues skill to fetch and fix all bug issues in the 'owner/repo' repository, creating pull requests for each fix.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate fixing GitHub issues and creating pull requests?▼

You can automate GitHub issue fixes by using a skill that fetches issues by labels or assignees, spawns parallel sub-agents to implement code fixes, and automatically opens pull requests for each resolved issue.

Can I automatically monitor pull request reviews and reply to comments?▼

Yes, automated PR monitoring can track review comments on opened pull requests and spawn agents to address feedback. This ensures continuous interaction with code review cycles without manual oversight.

What's the best way to filter GitHub issues for automated code fixing?▼

Filtering GitHub issues for automated code fixing is best handled by specifying criteria like labels, assignees, or milestones. This targets specific bug categories and ensures sub-agents only process relevant issues.

Does automated issue resolution support both direct and fork-based PR workflows?▼

Yes, automated issue resolution supports both direct repository workflows and fork-based pull request generation. This allows handling fixes in primary branches or contributing via external forks.

How does branch management work when automating GitHub issue fixes?▼

Branch management for GitHub issue fixes is handled automatically during the orchestration of sub-agents, ensuring isolated environments for code changes before opening pull requests. This prevents branch conflicts during parallel fixes.
