SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

It streamlines the repetitive work of creating, triaging, labeling, assigning, commenting, closing, and searching GitHub issues so teams can respond faster and keep projects organized.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Create and manage issues: Open new bugs or feature requests with consistent titles, bodies, and labels.
  • Triage workflows: Find untriaged issues (for example, those labeled needs-triage), then categorize them with priority labels and assignments.
  • Operate with gh or REST: Use GitHub CLI commands when available, and fall back to direct GitHub API calls when needed, including viewing, searching, and bulk closing.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to create a GitHub issue for the current bug using gh if authenticated, otherwise using the GitHub REST API with your stored token, targeting the repository from your current git remote.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate GitHub issue triage and labeling for my repository?

You can automate GitHub issue triage by searching for untriaged issues labeled needs-triage, then categorizing them with priority labels and assignments using gh or the GitHub REST API, streamlining repository maintenance workflows.

Can I create GitHub issues using the REST API when gh CLI is not authenticated?

Yes, creating GitHub issues falls back to direct GitHub REST API calls with your stored token when gh CLI is unavailable or unauthenticated. It opens new bugs or feature requests with consistent titles, bodies, and labels targeting the repository from your git remote.

What's the best way to bulk close GitHub issues across open and labeled states?

The best way to bulk close GitHub issues is using gh CLI commands when available, or falling back to direct GitHub REST API endpoints. This approach supports viewing, searching, and closing issues across open and labeled states for repository maintenance workflows.

Do I need to specify the OWNER and REPO to manage GitHub issues via API?

You do not always need to specify OWNER and REPO to manage GitHub issues if they are detectable from your git remotes. The process requires authenticated access and supports a specified OWNER/REPO fallback for targeted repository maintenance.

Does GitHub issue management support template-driven bodies for bug reporting?

Yes, GitHub issue management supports template-driven issue bodies for bug reporting and feature requests. This ensures consistent titles, bodies, and labels when creating issues through gh or the GitHub REST API for repository maintenance.

How do I search and assign untriaged GitHub issues using gh CLI?

You can search and assign untriaged GitHub issues by listing issues labeled needs-triage using gh CLI commands, then applying priority labels and assignments. This categorizes issues across open and labeled states for effective triage workflows.
