github-issue-from-wip

To create a GitHub issue from work-in-progress, this skill analyzes your feature branch changes against the base branch and synthesizes a problem-focused description. It generates structured inputs ready for issue creation to formalize pending work.

Converting feature branch changes into a tracked GitHub issue is done by computing the diff against the ancestor branch. The skill produces a future-tense problem statement that aligns with standard issue tracking practices for review.

Generating an issue from a diff does not require manually specifying the base branch. The skill automatically determines the appropriate base, whether an ancestor or default branch, to accurately capture the scope of work.

The work-in-progress issue generator formats branch diff data by synthesizing a future-tense problem statement. It extracts context from the changes and prepares structured inputs suitable for the github-issue workflow to create the issue.

You can use this to formalize a bug-fix in progress as a GitHub issue. It applies whenever a feature or bug-fix is ongoing on a branch, inspecting the data to prepare a draft description for review.

You should avoid using automated work-in-progress conversion when a formal issue already exists or when branch changes lack sufficient context. The skill requires meaningful diff data against the base branch to synthesize a problem statement.
