SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Provides a clear, repeatable way to create, search, triage, and manage issues in GitHub repositories so maintainers can keep backlog and bug workflows organized without manual API choreography.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • List and view issues with filtering by state, label, assignee, and text search to quickly find relevant tickets.
  • Create detailed issues with templates, add or remove labels, assign owners, post comments, and close or reopen issues.
  • Link issues to pull requests and create feature branches from issues; supports bulk operations for closing, labeling, or triaging many issues at once.
  • Works via the authenticated gh command-line tool or falls back to using a GITHUB_TOKEN and the GitHub REST API via curl for environments without gh.

Quick Start

Open the repository, ensure GitHub authentication is available, and run the GitHub Issues skill to list and triage open issues using the gh CLI or the curl fallback.
