github-issues

Automate GitHub issue triage by using this Skill to bulk search, label, assign, and close issues across repositories via gh CLI or REST API fallbacks. It handles cross-repo references and links issues to pull requests within standard software-engineering workflows.

Link GitHub issues to pull requests by executing cross-repo reference commands through this Skill. It searches existing open or closed issues and connects them to PRs using gh CLI workflows or curl-based REST API calls to maintain issue hygiene.

You do not strictly need gh CLI to manage GitHub issues, as the Skill falls back to curl-based REST API calls. However, you must authenticate via gh login or a personal access token and operate within a local git repository connected to a GitHub remote.

Search and filter open GitHub issues across multiple repositories by passing explicit repo targets to this Skill. It queries gh endpoints or REST API calls to retrieve, view, and triage cross-repo issues based on your specified labels and assignees.

Create and label GitHub issues via the REST API by utilizing the Skill's curl fallback mechanism. When gh CLI is unavailable, it authenticates with a personal access token and makes direct REST API calls to apply labels and assignees to new issues.

Automated GitHub issue assignments fail when GitHub authentication is missing or the local git repository lacks a GitHub remote. Ensure you run gh login or set a personal access token, and verify the local repository has an explicit GitHub remote configured before executing actions.
