SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires pyyaml, uv, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Manually creating GitHub issues, especially when adhering to specific templates and using command-line tools, can be time-consuming and prone to errors. This Skill automates the entire process, ensuring that bug reports and feature requests are filed correctly and efficiently, saving you valuable time and reducing mental overhead.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Template-Driven Issue Creation: Automatically uses the official anypod repository's bug report and feature request templates, ensuring all necessary information is captured.
  • gh CLI Integration: Publishes issues directly to GitHub using the gh command-line tool, streamlining the submission workflow.
  • Structured Data Input: Accepts issue details as a JSON payload, allowing for precise and consistent data entry for fields like steps to reproduce, expected behavior, and proposed solutions.
  • Use Case: A user reports a critical bug in AnyPod. Instead of manually navigating GitHub, selecting a template, and filling out numerous fields, you can use this skill to quickly gather the relevant details from the conversation and file a perfectly formatted bug report with a single command.

Quick Start

File a bug report for AnyPod on GitHub. The summary is "downloads stall on restart". The bug happened because "the container stopped unexpectedly", I expected "the container to continue running", and the steps to reproduce are "1. Start container. 2. Wait 5 minutes. 3. Container stops."

How do I automate filing GitHub issues with templates?▼

Automate filing GitHub issues by using template-driven creation that accepts structured JSON payloads describing bugs or features, then publishes them directly via the gh CLI tool, ensuring consistent formatting and reducing manual effort.

Can I file GitHub bug reports from the command line?▼

Yes, file bug reports from the command line by providing issue details—summary, steps to reproduce, expected behavior, and environment info—which the Skill converts into a structured payload and submits via gh CLI to create and return the GitHub issue URL.

What information do I need to provide to file a GitHub issue?▼

Provide a concise summary, description of the problem or request, steps to reproduce (for bugs), expected behavior, actual behavior, and optional environment details or logs, which the Skill maps to official repository templates for complete, properly formatted submissions.

Does this work with custom GitHub issue templates?▼

The Skill automatically detects and uses the official bug report and feature request templates from your repository, implementing template-aware selection to ensure all required fields are captured and formatted correctly before CLI submission.

What prerequisites do I need to file issues with this Skill?▼

You need the gh CLI tool installed and authenticated to your GitHub account, pyyaml and uv as dependencies, access to the target repository, and the ability to provide structured issue details in JSON format for processing.

Why use automation for GitHub issues instead of filing manually?▼

Automation eliminates time-consuming manual navigation of GitHub's UI, template selection, and field entry, reduces errors in structured data capture, ensures consistent formatting across issues, and streamlines workflows in high-volume bug reporting or feature intake scenarios.
