SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the problem of inconsistent, incomplete, or ambiguous GitHub issue reporting that hinders automated development workflows and AI-assisted task execution.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Standardized Formatting: Enforces a strict structure including complexity scores, rationale, and clear acceptance criteria.
  • Complexity Routing: Implements a model-plus-effort routing signal (C0–C100) to ensure the right AI model handles the right task.
  • Use Case: Use this format when creating new feature requests or bug reports to ensure the AI has all the necessary context, rationale, and planning signals to execute the task without needing further clarification.

Quick Start

Apply the github-issue-format guidelines to the current issue draft to ensure it includes the required complexity score and fableplan signal before submission.

FAQPage Schema
How do I standardize GitHub issues for AI-driven development workflows?

To standardize GitHub issues for AI-driven workflows, enforce a strict structure including complexity scores, rationale, and clear acceptance criteria to ensure the AI has necessary context without needing further clarification.

What is the complexity routing signal used for GitHub issue standardization?

The complexity routing signal is a model-plus-effort routing metric ranging from C0 to C100, designed to ensure the right AI model handles the right task based on the standardized issue's complexity score.

How do I format a GitHub issue to ensure automated task routing works correctly?

Format a GitHub issue for automated routing by adhering to the defined title convention, including a rationale line, and adding an attribution footer to ensure compatibility with automated issue management systems.

Does AI-assisted task execution require specific metadata in GitHub bug reports?

AI-assisted task execution requires specific metadata in GitHub bug reports, applying standardized formatting and planning signals to provide the necessary context for the AI to execute the task efficiently.

When do I need to apply standardized formatting to GitHub issue creation?

Apply standardized formatting to GitHub issue creation and editing workflows when consistent complexity scoring and planning signals are required for downstream automated processing and AI-assisted execution.

Why does inconsistent GitHub issue reporting hinder automated development workflows?

Inconsistent, incomplete, or ambiguous GitHub issue reporting hinders automated development workflows by failing to provide the structured context, rationale, and planning signals required for AI to execute tasks without clarification.
