  • Automated drafting: Reads the chosen template and fills in required fields to generate a complete issue body.
  • Labeling and submission: Applies the default "🔒 maintainer only" label by default unless overridden, and uses the gh CLI to create the issue.
  • Guided creation: Guides users through selecting issue type and validating inputs to ensure consistent backlog items.
